According to "Bild", Musiala has returned to the training ground for the first time in four months but is still unable to train with the ball. Gnabry is expected to return against Borussia Monchengladbach.

The media revealed that on Thursday morning, Jamal Musiala (22 years old) finally returned to the training ground. At 11:44, he appeared in training clothes and jogged around the field first. Subsequently, coordination training was conducted under the guidance of rehabilitation coach Simon Martinello (40 years old). A quarter of an hour later, he changed his sneakers and continued jogging several laps around the training ground.

After about 25 minutes, the outdoor training unit ends. Finally, he even had a few touches with Serge Gnabry (30), who was also doing individual training after missing two games due to an adductor problem.

Musiala finally returned to the green field - a crucial milestone on the road to recovery. Because in the vast majority of cases, this means that the injury ordeal is coming to an end and the injury has completely healed.

The Bayern superstar said in a statement on the club's official website: "This is a very big step. For me, it feels great to return to the training ground. My foot feels good."

The Bayern superstar had a violent collision with Paris goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old) during the Club World Cup quarter-finals against Paris on July 5 (0:2), resulting in a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula, and subsequently underwent surgery in Murnau.

Bayern has been lacking his firepower since then. The Germany international has been working towards his comeback at the indoor venue on Sebena Strasse. Now that Musiala is back in training - fans can expect the frontcourt magician to return to action perhaps within the year.

The Bayern star said: "The focus at this stage is to re-adapt to running and increase speed. Next, we will start training with the ball: dribbling, passing, shooting."

After the 4-0 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League, sports director Christoph Freund (48 Year-old) once updated the injury: "It will still take some time. But the recovery is making progress and the situation looks optimistic. His foot can fully bear weight. The trend is positive, but we still need to be patient."

Musiala has shown a good mental state in public training last week. At that time, he communicated cordially with the coaches and signed autographs for fans, but had not yet participated in on-field training.

He is eager to return to the team as soon as possible. He recently said: "I am eager to be one of them and stand on the court again." Now with his return to the training ground, he has taken the crucial first step.

But Musiala clearly emphasized: "It must be gradual and cannot be rushed. When I return, I hope to reach 100% condition and maintain a good level. So we need to remain patient." Currently, his training plan is still mainly focused on the strength room. Musiala has not yet practiced with the ball on the training ground.

Bayern expects Alphonso Davies (24 years old) to return to the team sooner. The left-back suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee with cartilage damage in March. However, Davis is currently undergoing recovery training in preparation for returning to team training.

Last week, Vincent Kompany (39 years old) even gave a specific return date outlook. The Bayern coach said: "Things are looking very good. The medical department and Alfonso are working very well together at the moment. I had hoped that he would return at the beginning of January. Now it seems that it may even be a little earlier. If everything goes well, we will have a very good player back sometime in December." , Alphonso Davis, who is very healthy. If he can still play a few games in December, it means everyone has done a great job "

Similar to Davis' situation, Ito Hiroyuki (26 years old/metatarsal fracture) is also currently on the court for individual training. However, there is currently no clear timetable for when the Japanese defender can be used by Bayern again.

As for Serge Gnabry (30 years old/adductor problem), the club hopes that he can return in the Bundesliga away game against Monchengladbach this weekend. "Everything went well! I hope so," the winger said in response to an inquiry from Bild as he left the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.source:7n com
