Alarm in Bayern! One of its stars, a serious doubt to visit FC Barcelona

Jamal Musiala keeps the Bayern Munich coaching staff in suspense with less than a week to go before the momentous Champions League duel in Montjuïc against FC Barcelona. This Friday, the coach of the Bavarian team, Vincent Company, confirmed the winger's absence for Saturday's duel against Stuttgart and left his return for the third day of the league phase of the top European club competition in doubt.

"The important thing is that all the players have returned from the international window in good health, but to say that they are all ready to play at 100% from the beginning is not the case," commented the Belgian in the press conference prior to the fifth day of the Bundesliga. The 38-year-old coach then confirmed that Musiala will not be available this Saturday and, in addition, Dayot Upamecano is also likely.

Musiala continues to have discomfort in his hip

Jamal's doubt lies in a hip injury suffered before the last game before the October break, against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3). The one from Stuttgart did not travel with Germany for the duels against Bosnia and the Netherlands, but he has not been able to train normally in recent days. According to 'BILD' last Tuesday, the '42' has only been doing some work without the ball outside the group, along with a "relaxed warm-up".

So far this season, Musiala has 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 games (565 minutes). In the Champions League he has not yet managed to score, but he has assisted on a couple of occasions. For the Bavarians, the duel against Barça is key, since last day they lost their visit to Aston Villa (1-0). The Catalans, for their part, have just beaten Young Boys (5-0) and have the same points as the Munich team (3), although with a tighter goal difference (+4, while Bayern has +6) .
