After recovering from the horrific ankle damage he suffered finally summer season’s Club World Cup, Jamal Musiala suffered a setback in Bayern Munich’s 6-1 win over Atalanta round a month in the past.
As a consequence, Musiala missed three matches for Bayern, in addition to Germany’s fixtures in the course of the March worldwide break, earlier than making his return off the bench in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Freiburg.
Ahead of Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg conflict with Real Madrid in Spain, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl defined that the damage is just not one the German worldwide can rapidly transfer on from – bodily or mentally.
“He had problems again after the game in Bergamo, where adhesions appeared in his ankle,” Eberl instructed reporters forward of Bayern’s flight to Madrid.
“It’s not all perfectly clean and pristine, but surgically treated and still tender,” he added.
“There’s a lot of physical strain, but the soul and psyche are also involved. This isn’t an injury that can be rehabilitated casually.”
After offering contemporary impetus off the bench towards Freiburg, Musiala might doubtlessly have a task to play on the Bernabéu on Tuesday.
“It’s about whether he feels ready at the moment. That’s the impression he gave us on Saturday, so we’re happy he’s part of the squad for the Bernabéu,” Eberl stated.
