Musiala back in individual training, Augsburg trip likely too soon

📰 Jamal Musiala has taken the first step towards a comeback, returning to individual training after a thigh muscle tear. 📌 Key points 🏃 Musiala began individual training on 6 October. 🩹 He tore a muscle fibre in his right thigh warming up for the Netherlands game on 24 September. ⏳ Saturday's trip to Augsburg is expected to come too soon. 📅 There is no firm date for his return yet. 🗓️ Bayern face seven games in 21 days in October. 📝 What happened 🩹 Musiala was named in Germany's starting line-up for the Nations League game against the Netherlands in Amsterdam on 24 September. But he felt pain in his right thigh during the warm-up and stopped, with Nadiem Amiri starting in his place. Tests confirmed a muscle fibre tear and he returned to Munich for treatment. 🏃 According to Kicker, Musiala was back on the pitch at Säbener Straße on 6 October for individual work, around two weeks after the injury. ⏳ Bayern are not rushing him, though. Kicker says Saturday's game at Augsburg will most likely come too soon for the 23-year-old, and there is no date yet for his return to team training. Footy.de reports that he could miss the whole of October, and Bayern intend to avoid any unnecessary risk. 📊 By the numbers • Injured: 24 September (warm-up v Netherlands) • Individual training: 6 October, around two weeks later • Bayern in October: seven games in 21 days 🔭 Why it matters Musiala is central to Bayern's attack. With a game roughly every three days in October, his return date will shape Vincent Kompany's rotation plans. Bayern resume their league campaign at Augsburg on 10 October. When Musiala rejoins team training is the next thing to watch.
