€130m Bayern Munich player ruled out for Stuttgart, doubtful for Barcelona clash

Hansi Flick has a special match in five days against his former club Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.

This will be the German tactician’s first true test since taking over at FC Barcelona, and he will be hoping to earn all

three points against the Bavarians.

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany has recently taken over as manager of Bayern Munich, and he will be hoping to win

this blockbuster game in the newly formed UCL.

However, Kompany’s mission of winning this game has grown substantially more difficult, as SPORT claims that his

star midfielder Jamal Musiala is doubtful for the game against Barcelona, and it is unclear whether he will travel to

the Catalan capital with the rest of his team.

The €130 million-rated German playmaker sustained a hip injury shortly before the October international break,

preventing him from playing in the German national team’s games during that time.

Musiala’s absence from Saturday’s Bundesliga match against Stuttgart has already been confirmed by Kompany.

Despite questions over Musiala’s fitness, Bayern Munich will do all possible to ensure he is available for this game

against Barcelona. This is especially true given that this game is significant not only because of the two teams’

competitive rivalry, but also since the Bavarians lost their first match of the UCL league phase and will be hoping to

avoid losing any more points.

On the other hand, Flick, Musiala’s manager when he made his debut with the German national team, would prefer

that the German playmaker not play against Barcelona since he knows the player well and realizes the danger he may

bring.
