FC Bayern had to do without Jamal Musiala for a month – now the offensive artist is back. Tuchel doesn’t know exactly whether an “unusual” week is a “curse or a blessing.”
Jamal Musiala is back at FC Bayern Munich after his muscle injury.
“If nothing happens, Jamal is in the squad. He’s definitely not going to play 90 minutes. We’ll decide whether he starts or finishes the game for us,” said coach Thomas Tuchel the day before the game on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky). at Eintracht Frankfurt. The injured Matthijs de Ligt and Bouna Sarr are not there. Everyone else is there, said Tuchel.
For Musiala it is the comeback after a month. The attacking midfielder was missed not only at FC Bayern, but especially in the national team’s game. Without the super dribbler, the DFB selection lost to Turkey and Austria in November. Due to the postponement of Munich’s game against 1. FC Union Berlin, the 20-year-old had more time to get fit again in training for the competition.
Unusual pause
“I don’t know exactly whether it was a blessing or a curse, very unusual,” said Tuchel about the forced break. “We wanted to go one step further against Union and were actually ready. The task was to maintain tension.”
With a win, the Munich team would take over the top of the Bundesliga table, at least until Sunday. Then the Bayer Leverkusen team can take first place in the table again with a draw at VfB Stuttgart. “Two very strong teams, very clear teams in their style. Very clean, very clear in the processes, very stable, at a very high level,” said Tuchel, who will definitely watch the game on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / DAZN). would like to look at. “Both teams absolutely deserve to be where they are at the moment. It will definitely be a very interesting game.”
On the third Advent, Munich will host VfB Stuttgart. Leverkusen leads the table with 35 points ahead of Munich (32) and Stuttgart (30). FC Bayern played one less game due to the loss of the Union game. The game will be rescheduled for January 24th.
