Harry Kane is happy to have Jamal Musiala, who he thinks is Bayern Munich's best player, back on the team after being out for six months with an injury. The 21-year-old German player has been out since July. He got hurt during Bayern's match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.

Musiala Returns to Training

Musiala's return to training this week at Sabener Strabe marks a huge step in his recovery. He was badly hurt last summer and had to be stretchered off after a bad hit. He needed surgery and a long recovery, which Bayern's doctors took slowly. They watched every step closely as he worked to move again and regain his strength and confidence. His first outdoor practice on Tuesday was a big sign of progress.

Kane Is Excited to Have Musiala Back

Kane quickly shared how glad he was to see Musiala back. He told Sky Sports Germany, "It's great to have him back." Even before he got hurt last season, I thought he was often the best player on the team. It's like we've signed two great new players, like Alphonso Davies. I'm really happy they're back. They're important, especially with how we play. They fit in perfectly because of how strong they are, how they start plays, and how they run.

Kane also said that people shouldn't expect too much too soon and that Musiala needs time to get back to his best.

He said, They shouldn't feel too pressured and should focus on getting fit first. That will take a few weeks. But we'll need them even more when February comes, and things get really important.

Bayern Is Doing Well Despite Musiala's Absence

Even though Musiala has been out for a while, Bayern has still been doing great. Under Vincent Kompany, they've only lost one game in all competitions, thanks to their strong attack. Kane has been leading the way, with help from Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, and Serge Gnabry. Young player Lennart Karl has also been doing well, showing how much talent Bayern has. Because of this, Bayern can afford to be patient and not rush Musiala back, as they lead the Bundesliga.

Kompany has been careful about how much people expect from Musiala's return. Before Bayern's 2-2 game with Mainz, he said that Musiala is close to being ready to play, but they won't take any shortcuts.

Jamal is getting close, he said. Hopefully it will be next week. But I want to be clear that there's no pressure on Jamal or the doctors. Hopefully, he can get in some practices before Christmas. That would be good for him and the team. Then, he can start playing in January. That would be ideal.

Davies; Musiala's Return Boosts Team Morale

Alphonso Davies also recently returned after being out for nine months with a knee injury. He and Musiala are looking forward to starting 2026 in great shape. Captain Joshua Kimmich talked about how hard it can be mentally to deal with these kinds of injuries. He praised Davies' strength and said that both Davies and Musiala stayed involved with the team even when they couldn't play.

The way he handled his rehab was amazing. "I don't think I could have done it with as much energy," Kimmich said.

He always tried to stay close to the team. He's been with us in the locker room for months, coming to the games and hanging out with Jamal, playing music, and trying to keep everyone's spirits up. That's something you can't take for granted.

It's unlikely that Musiala will be rushed back for Bayern's last game of 2025 against Heidenheim. Instead, they're planning for him to return in January so he can get back into shape without pressure. They expect him to be a key player from February on, when the games get more important.

Bayern Munich got some good news this week: Alphonso Davies is back! He played against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, his first game since March, when he got hurt playing for his country.

After the winter break, Jamal Musiala will be back too, giving the team another choice up front. Hiroki Ito is also back after being out for a while.

The Bayern bosses think having these guys back to full strength will make the team stronger for the rest of the season. They're not planning on buying anyone new in January, but one or two players might leave.

Sacha Boey is the most likely to go. He's not the first choice at full-back, with several players ahead of him. Fabrizio Romano says Crystal Palace are interested in signing him.

Boey played a bit in September and October. But when Josip Stanisic got back from injury, Boey was back on the bench. With Ito and Davies back, Konrad Laimer will probably play mainly at right-back. Raphael Guerreiro has also played there, so Boey might not get much playing time in the second half of the season.

Bayern will probably lose money on Boey

They paid a lot for him in January 2024 to get some cover at right-back. But he had some injury problems in his first six months.

People thought Boey would be important under Vincent Kompany since he wanted to sign him at Burnley. But injuries and not playing well kept Boey out of the team last season.

Now seems like a good time for Boey to leave Bayern and find a club where he can play every week and get his career going again. Bayern won't get the €30 million they paid for him two years ago. They have a good relationship with Crystal Palace after the Michael Olise deal, so that might help them sell Boey to the Premier League team.

Olympique Marseille wanted to sign Boey in the summer, and they might try again in January. We'll see if Bayern tries to replace Boey, since they're mainly looking at long-term signings in the summer.
