Jamal Musiala opens up on injury recovery ahead of new season

Jamal Musiala has reflected on the challenges of recovering from a serious ankle injury, admitting that patience and extra work have been key as the Bayern Munich star looks to regain full fitness ahead of next season.

Jamal Musiala is one of the most exciting footballers to watch in the world, being a regular starter for both Bayern Munich and Germany. However, a nasty ankle injury last year meant that he was out of action for a while and is still trying to get back up to speed. The 23-year-old gave his insights into what recovering from his injury was like.

“I think it is a matter of just seeing what more you can do,” Musiala said (via Bundesliga as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “I think coming back from big injuries, you have to do extra work. I think sometimes not talking about it is good as well because you already have all the questions in your head. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow a little bit. I have just been trying to learn and take things into next season.”

While Musiala was recovering, Bayern utilised Serge Gnabry, who unfortunately picked up a lengthy injury which sidelined him for an important stretch of 2026, and breakout star Lennart Karl.
