Jamal Musiala will be present in the duel against Barcelona in the Champions League. However, the current unknown is whether he will be able to participate in the match as a starter or if he will do so as a substitute

Good news for Bayern Munich, but not so much for FC Barcelona. On the eve of the clash between the leader of LaLiga EA Sports and the reigning champion of the Bundesliga, corresponding to the third matchday of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25, the Munich team has confirmed a luxury 'signing' for this encounter.

The Bayern Munich has recently revealed the 22 players called up for the match against the Catalans. Notably, the inclusion of Jamal Musiala among the players available to coach Vincent Kompany for the showdown against Barcelona stands out.

It is worth remembering that Jamal Musiala was on the injury list of Bayern Munich due to hip problems, which prevented him from participating in both the Bundesliga matches of the sixth matchday against Eintracht Frankfurt and the seventh matchday against Stuttgart, as well as in the matches of the German national team during the recent October FIFA international break against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands, valid for the third and fourth matchdays of Group 3 of the UEFA Nations League. This situation raised doubts about his availability for the clash against the Catalans, which would be a significant blow for the Germans.

Will Jamal Musiala start in the match against FC Barcelona?

However, fortunately for the Bavarians, Jamal Musiala, who trained with the group last Monday, shows promising signs regarding his full recovery. Now, the crucial aspect will be to assess in what condition the German midfielder is: if his physical condition is optimal to start or if he will begin on the bench, leaving it up to Vincent Kompany to decide whether to give him playing time during the match against Barcelona.
