Bayern Munich are without Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry for Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League match against Atlético Madrid, with both attackers sidelined by injuries.
Why is Jamal Musiala not playing against Atlético Madrid?
Musiala is recovering from a reported right thigh muscle tear sustained on international duty with Germany in late September. He returned to individual ball work on November 2 but has not yet resumed full team training. A return after November’s international break has been discussed, subject to fitness clearance.
Why is Serge Gnabry not playing?
Gnabry reportedly sustained a left hamstring injury in Bayern’s 2–2 Bundesliga draw with Borussia Dortmund on October 31. He was forced off in the first half. His recovery may extend into early 2027, although an official return date remains uncertain.
How do the absences affect Bayern?
Musiala’s dribbling and creativity between the lines and Gnabry’s speed and goal threat are difficult to replace. Bayern will need other attacking players to take on larger roles against Atlético’s defense.
