Jamal Musiala took a forced break on Saturday afternoon. The youngster was not allowed to play against VfL Bochum on the advice of the doctors.
Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has explained why he put the last form strong Jamal Musiala against VfL Bochum on the 5th match day on the bench. He also gave an update on Kingsley Coman’s health.
“He played a lot of good games and you always want him on the field,” said Nagelsmann Sky before the home game against Bochum. However, Musiala had symptoms of fatigue.
“Jamal is a young player that you have to control well. The values of the bio-markers that we collect are very high for him. That means a lot of strain on your legs and you simply mustn’t overload him,” Nagelsmann clarified . Musiala needs “this youthful freshness to bring its qualities to the field”.
Instead of the 18-year-old, who was promoted to man of the game with a goal and an assist after a substitution against RB Leipzig, Nagelsmann relied on Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane, who had recovered after lumbago, “who is in good shape against VfL “as the Bayern coach noted.
Sane, who had been whistled by fans of the record champions when he was substituted for 1. FC Köln a few weeks ago, underpinned Nagelsmann’s statements and initially scored the 1-0 free kick against Bochum and prepared Joshua Kimmich’s 2-0 .
Bayern trainer Nagelsmann in contact with Coman after a heart operation
Before the match against VfL on Saturday, Nagelsmann also gave an update on the state of health of Kingsley Coman, who had to undergo minimally invasive heart surgery.
“Yesterday I had brief contact with him and he is fine. He has minimal pain in the groin where the access was made. He is glad that it is going in the right direction,” said Nagelsmann, repeating his comments he had already announced on Friday at a press conference on this matter.
“It was nothing threatening, just hampered performance in some situations,” emphasized the 34-year-old. Coman is “a footballer with body and soul” and therefore wants to get started again as soon as possible. “We also need him and so we are happy that he can probably get back on Tuesday,” said Nagelsmann.
