Bayern Munich expect Jamal Musiala to line up against RB Leipzig this Saturday, ending a five‑month layoff after a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle suffered at the July Club World Cup. The 22‑year‑old has completed two weeks of unrestricted training, and manager Vincent Kompany said everything looks on track for his first appearance this season.

Coach Kompany also faces a selection puzzle on the right flank. Konrad Laimer missed Wednesday’s 3‑1 win over Cologne with a torn left calf, while Josip Stanisic remains sidelined. Joshua Kimmich could be shifted back, a tactic Bayern have used before, as they juggle depth ahead of the Leipzig clash.

Musiala’s creativity has been a missing piece in Bayern’s push for another Bundesliga crown, and his return could revive the attacking spark that propelled the team early in the campaign. Observers will watch his minutes, his link‑up with Alphonso Davies, and whether Kimmich stays at right‑back or reverts to midfield.
