Vincent Kompany happy with Jamal Musiala’s progress, but will wait for ‘right moment’ for Bayern Munich return

BERGAMO, ITALY - MARCH 10: Jamal Musiala of FC Bayern Munchen looks on during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Round of 16 First Leg match between Atalanta BC and FC Bayern München at Stadio di Bergamo on March 10, 2026 in Bergamo, Italy.

Star attacker Jamal Musiala is embracing the grind as well, but Kompany wants everyone to just settle down and appreciate the progress the youngster has made to date and put focus on a full recovery, rather than an early return. “There’s no team training during the international break. We’re in constant contact with Jamal – depending on how he’s progressing and how he’s feeling.

At the moment, it’s all on an individual basis. He’ll rejoin the squad at the right moment. It’s not just about his ankle, it’s also about his fitness.

He’s improved physically; he’s more stable. He exudes maturity. I hope things keep getting better in the run-up to the World Cup.
