Notably, the German attacker had returned from a long-term layoff just a while back. The 22-year-old recovered from a torn hamstring, which he sustained during the Bundesliga season.<\/p><p>Musiala was brought on in the 57th minute when Bayern were leading the game 1-0 against Boca Juniors. However, Musiala had to be withdrawn just 25 minutes later, with veteran Thomas Muller replacing him in the 82nd minute. Bayern Munich sealed their place in the knockout stages with a dramatic 2-1 victory. Goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise ensured the German giants made it two wins from two in Group C, confirming their qualification to the Round of 16 with a game to spare.<\/p><p>Musiala had only resumed full training on May 7 and was not included in Germany&rsquo;s UEFA Nations League semifinal squad as a precaution. The injury sparked concern among fans that Musiala had suffered a serious injury once again.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&rsquo;s pray Musiala&rsquo;s injury is nothing serous &#128591; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OISceRt2ZC\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/OISceRt2ZC<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bayern &amp; Football (@MunichFanpage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MunichFanpage\/status\/1936266522009149504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jamal Musiala Injury Update<\/h2><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SkySportNews\/status\/1936311665886167260\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Sky Sport Germany<\/a>, Jamal Musiala may have picked up a calf injury, but early reports suggest it is not serious.
