Apparently there was more than meets the eye with Bayern Munich starting Jamal Musiala on the bench during the team’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League.
According to Sport Bild’s Christian Falk and Michel Schröer (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Musiala is battling a hip injury, which could affect his status against Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend:
For what it is worth, Musiala’s hip looked fine vs. Aston Villa. However, Bayern Munich does not want this to become a lingering issue that could nag Musiala all season. If he is not 100%, it would not be shocking to see Musiala sit out. If he is good enough to go, though, his presence will be welcomed against a tough Eintracht Frankfurt side.
