National player Jamal Musiala had to be substituted prematurely in FC Bayern’s Bundesliga game against VfB Stuttgart (2-2) on Saturday. Is a game against FC Barcelona in the Champions League in danger?
Jamal Musiala is one of FC Bayern’s most important offensive players in this young season. The 19-year-old scored his fourth league goal (60th) in the home game against VfB Stuttgart and is currently Bayern Munich’s top scorer.
But when the score was 2-1, Musiala had to be substituted in the 81st minute. This was preceded by a duel on the center line: The Bayern player played a ball from the turn – too quickly for Stuttgart defender Waldemar Anton, who hit Musiala on the ankle.
It was Musiala’s last action of the game and after a brief treatment on the touchline he was substituted for Sadio Mané.
Jamal Musiala is looking forward to the game against FC Barcelona
However, FC Bayern fans do not have to worry about the health of their favorite. Musiala himself quickly gave the all-clear after the game.
“It’s fine, it’s not an injury!” He told “Sport1” on record. It was just a “light blow”. He is “fit” for the important Champions League game against FC Barcelona (Tuesday, 9:00 p.m.).
The 15-time German national player has been looking forward to the game since the draw, as FC Barcelona is something of a youth crush for him. “FC Barcelona was my ‘go-to team’, my favorite team. I had a Messi jersey, the midfield with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets. That fascinated me,” he recently revealed to “Sport Bild”.
In addition, there will be a much-anticipated encounter with Robert Lewandowski in Munich. “I’m happy to see Lewy again. And I hope that he will be greeted with applause in Munich, he deserves that,” said Musiala.
