Shocking news for FC Bayern almost two weeks before the Bundesliga cracker against Borussia Dortmund: Jamal Musiala will probably miss the duel with BVB.
Jamal Musiala will definitely miss the upcoming international match phase of the German national soccer team with the friendlies against Peru and Belgium. But the top Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund will also be a race against time for the FC Bayern attacking player.
As “Sky” reports, the 20-year-old’s role in a duel with BVB, which will take place on April 1 (6:30 p.m.) in Munich’s Allianz Arena, is shaky. It is said that the camp of the German record champions will try to get Musiala fit for the immensely important game. However, it currently looks as if he will fail.
As both the DFB and FC Bayern announced on Monday, Musiala is suffering from a torn muscle fiber in his left thigh. An exact downtime has not yet been officially announced.
FC Bayern face a tricky task against BVB
If Musiala really fails against BVB, it would be a major setback for Bayern. In any case, there is a lot at stake for the Munich team: after the bitter 2-1 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund’s 6-1 defeat against 1. FC Köln, they suddenly go into the game as hunters and not as the hunted, as they have been used to in recent years prestigious clash.
In view of nine wins and a draw in ten league games in 2023, BVB’s chest is also extremely broad.
When fit, Musiala is one of the absolute regulars under coach Julian Nagelsmann at FC Bayern. He has already completed 35 competitive games in the current season, scoring 15 strong goals and twelve assists.
Musiala’s record against BVB is also almost flawless: in five games in the Bundesliga and in the Supercup, the native of Stuttgart celebrated four wins against the black and yellow. There is also a draw.
