The German champions have announced that Jamal Musiala, the young forward who has been a revelation for the club, is likely to be out of action for some time due to an injury.
Musiala has been one of the standout performers in the Bundesliga this season, scoring six goals and providing four assists in just 11 appearances. He was also named as the Young Player of the Year at the end of last year's campaign.
However, the news of his potential absence will come as a blow to Bayern Munich, who are currently second in the league table and looking to secure a top-four finish to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Musiala has already undergone surgery on a knee injury earlier this year,Saudi Pro League Focus but it seems that he may need further treatment before he can return to full fitness. The team doctor, Dr. Hans-Jörg Schumacher, said that Musiala would need "a little more time" before returning to training.
Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann said that Musiala had made significant progress in his rehabilitation process, but that he still needed to work on his strength and conditioning. He added that the club would do everything they could to get Musiala back to full fitness as soon as possible.
Musiala's injury comes at a crucial time for Bayern Munich, who are in the midst of a busy schedule with games against RB Leipzig and Manchester United coming up in the next few weeks. However, the team will hope that Musiala can make a swift recovery and return to the pitch as soon as possible.
