Bayern Munich\u2019s sporting director, Max Eberl, firmly believes that international player Jamal Musiala will return to his best form before the World Cup.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re giving him peace and trust, showing him we\u2019re calm, so he can clear his head,\u201d Eberl said in an interview with the M\u00fcnchner Merkur\/tz: \u201cAnd when he creates another golden moment soon, as soon as he comes on, the injury will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fibula fracture and ankle dislocation that Musiala (23) suffered at the Club World Cup last summer were “a massive blow”, said Eberl: “We knew that the recovery process would take time. It requires this time, both physically and mentally, even if it feels like an eternity.” The “minor setback against Bergamo” is part of the process, “it goes up and down in waves,” said Eberl.<\/p>\n
Musiala had made his comeback in January, but most recently missed the German national team\u2019s World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Ghana. However, national coach Julian Nagelsmann is not yet worried about the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada (11 June to 19 July). “He doesn\u2019t have that much time left, there\u2019s no question about that,” Nagelsmann admitted, but added: “I\u2019m confident he\u2019ll get back to 100 per cent.”<\/p>\n
Eberl also said: \u201cThe important thing is that Jamal himself wants to get back to 100 per cent. He\u2019s getting more and more excited too; he puts the most pressure on himself.\u201d Musiala wants \u201cto perform well, to show his abilities \u2013 so that he can help us first and then German football at the World Cup. He has enough time for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Monday, following his brief enforced break due to “pain” in his ankle, Musiala had resumed parts of team training at Bayern Munich and is expected to be an option for the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid (7 and 15 April).<\/p>\n
