Targeting late October return
Musiala (thigh) remains sidelined for the UCL meeting with Arsenal on Wednesday, but there's hope he'll be ready to play later in October, with Bayern's sport director Max Eberl saying "I don't think it's gonna be enough against Arsenal. Now he's being introduced slowly, slowly, but in October he's still coming back," per Sky Sport.
Analysis: Musiala will hope to make steady progress in his rehabilitation from the muscular problem that has left him out of the last three games across all competitions. The talented attacker has struggled to stay healthy for long periods lately, but his eventual return would give the team a strong threat in the central zone. However, his continued absence allows increased opportunities for Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl.
Progressing with individual ball work
Musiala (thigh) continued his recovery from a torn muscle fiber in his right thigh Thursday, completing an individual running session that included changes of direction and ball work alongside fitness coach Simon Martinello, the club announced.
Analysis: Musiala is making steady progress in his rehabilitation after suffering the muscular injury while warming up for Germany's Nations League clash against the Netherlands roughly two weeks ago. The attacking midfielder resumed individual training Tuesday and has now increased his workload with more dynamic exercises, though he has yet to rejoin the group. Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg is likely to come too soon, with Musiala potentially needing another couple of weeks before returning to competitive action.
