<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nJamal Musiala is targeting a return to action for Bayern Munich before the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
Musiala suffered a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle in a challenge with Gianluigi Donnarumma during Bayern\u2019s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup in July.<\/p>\n
Bayern confirmed he would be absent for a minimum of four months and would require surgery immediately. <\/p>\n
The Germany playmaker recorded 21 goals and eight assists in all competitions for Bayern last season.<\/p>\n
Musiala is reluctant to set an exact date for his comeback, but is still aiming to return in the near future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the progress I\u2019ve made so far, I\u2019d say I want to play competitive games with FC Bayern in 2025,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I go back on the pitch, I want to be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old believes he is perfectly capable of sealing a place in Germany\u2019s 2026 World Cup squad and has maintained close contact with national team boss Julian Nagelsmann, who even visited his home. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe also understands that I shouldn\u2019t rush anything,\u201d said Musiala, who has made 40 appearances for the national team, scoring eight times.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s better if I come back in top form at the end of the season, and at the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
Germany are in a World Cup qualifying group with Luxembourg, Northern Ireland, and Slovakia.<\/p>\n
Musiala has been an integral cog of a Bayern side that has clinched the Bundesliga in five of the last six seasons.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
