Munich, Germany: Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany confirmed midfielder Jamal Musiala was set to make his return after a six-month injury absence in Saturday’s Bundesliga match at RB Leipzig.

Speaking on Friday, Kompany said Musiala would be included in the squad “if everything goes well today in training”. The 22-year-old broke his leg against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup in July and has been making his way back, returning to team training in December.
