There was a lot of worry when Jamal Musiala was unable to feature in the Bundesliga against VfB Stuttgart after already missing out on Germany’s international break. Would he be ready for Bayern Munich’s big clash with FC Barcelona?
The answer would end up being no, as the German would find himself relegated to the bench as Thomas Müller would line up in his place. Vincent Kompany explained, ahead of the loss, why this decision had to be made: “He only trained twice. He worked very hard. It just wasn’t possible to start today,” Kompany lamented, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “Maybe the right time will come for him [during the match].”
Perhaps it will. Perhaps the rising star of the team will be able to come into the match and raise the level of the Bavarians. Bayern will hope that Musiala will not be desperately brought on with the game in the balance, but the strength of the opponent promises this to be a very unlikely scenario…
