Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has torn a thigh muscle in training and “needs to take a break for the time being,” the club stated on Wednesday.
After Musiala ended training on Wednesday, Bayern specialists discovered that he had ripped a “muscle fiber in his left thigh.”
Reports from German media reveal Musiala might be out for many weeks, which would affect both Germany’s September friendlies against Japan and France as well as Bayern’s upcoming matches against Augsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Musiala, who is only 20 years old, has established himself as a starter for Bayern and Germany in recent seasons.
The attacking midfielder scored 12 goals and assisted 13 more in 33 league appearances in 2022-23, a combined figure higher than any other Bayern player.

Musiala spent much of his childhood in England and was eligible to play for the Three Lions, but chose to represent Germany.
One of the breakout stars of the Qatar World Cup, Musiala has played 23 times for his country, scoring once.
Bayern, who have won the last 11 Bundesliga titles in a row, opened the season with a 4-0 win away at Werder Bremen, with England captain Harry Kane scoring once on his league debut.
In the statement, Bayern also said France defender Benjamin Pavard missed training “on Wednesday due to illness.”
