Musiala makes his first return to grass since broken fibula

Jamal Musiala has completed his return to grass and shared his thoughts on his comeback to fitness which still requires patience.

There was some good news for Bayern Munich fans as Jamal Musiala returned to the pitch for the first time since his injury today. 

“For me, it was great to be back on the pitch. It felt great. My foot felt good. That was a very big step,” he told Bayern’s in-house cameras.

“A few weeks ago, my first jump, then the first time running on the Alter-G, now on the pitch. I think I’m taking a new step forward every week. 

“The goal now is to get used to running again, to build up speed. Then I’ll start training with the ball. Dribbling, passing, shooting.

“It’s always a step-by-step process; you don’t want to do anything too quickly. When I come back, I want to be at 100%, at a good level,” he said.

Sky Germany and Sport BILD stated he ran a lap and then completed some coordination exercises with athletic coach Simon Martinello. 

Musiala’s session was over after 25 minutes. At the end, he even kicked the ball around with Serge Gnabry, who also was training individually.
