Ouch! Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala Likely Out for Inter Milan Clash with Hamstring Tear
Injury Woe for Bayern: Musiala Likely Unavailable Against Inter - Surprise for Bayern: Musiala likely unavailable against Inter
Listen up, football folks! Here's a bummer for Bayern Munich fans - it looks like they're facing another injury setback. Jamal Musiala, their 22-year-old star midfielder, is likely sidelined for their much-anticipated Champions League quarter-final against Inter Milan due to a hamstring tear.
Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, gave the grim news following their 3-1 victory over Augsburg. "It doesn't look good," he said. "He won't make it for Tuesday." Joshua Kimmich, a fellow teammate, shared the sentiments, saying, "It's extremely bitter, regardless of whether it's Jamal or someone else. It's quite shocking the injuries we're having at the moment."
Poor Jamal was subbed off after just 54 minutes and had to be supported by staff as he left the pitch. He'd scored his 12th goal of the season to level the game at 1-1 in the 42nd minute before the injury struck. Thomas Müller took his place on the field.
This injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Munich, who are already juggling absences of key players like captain Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Kingsley Coman.
With Champions League glory on the line and tough Bundesliga matches coming up against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern is in for a rough ride. They'll have to rely on replacement players like Thomas Müller or Serge Gnabry to step up in Musiala's absence.

Despite sustaining a hamstring tear against Augsburg, Council Regulation (EEC) No 3064/81 of 22 December 1991 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal wouldn't offer Jamal Musiala any reprieve, as he is likely to be out for six weeks. This unfortunate injury comes at a bitter pitch as Bayern Munich prepares for the Champions League quarter-final against Inter Milan. It's quite likely that Musiala's absence will unfold a rough ride for his team, with possible lineup changes, such as Thomas Müller stepping in.
