Bayern Munich secured a 3-1 victory over FC Augsburg on Friday, April 4, 2025, extending their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to nine points with six matches remaining. The match saw goals from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, and an own goal by Augsburg’s Chrislain Matsima.
However, the win was overshadowed by an injury to Jamal Musiala. The 22-year-old midfielder, who had earlier scored the equalizer in the 42nd minute, was forced off the field in the 54th minute after sustaining an apparent hamstring injury. Musiala attempted to connect with a high pass but fell to the ground, immediately signaling for medical assistance.
Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, expressed concern over Musiala’s condition, stating, “It doesn’t look so brilliant. He won’t be there for Tuesday.” This means Musiala is set to miss the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Inter Milan on Tuesday, April 8.
The injury adds to Bayern’s growing list of sidelined players, which includes Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Hiroki Ito, Kingsley Coman, and Aleksandar Pavlovic. Captain Joshua Kimmich commented on the situation, saying, “It’s extremely bitter. It’s pretty harsh how many injuries we’ve copped at the moment.”
Despite these challenges, head coach Vincent Kompany emphasized the need for resilience, stating, “We have to solve with the squad. It’s not an excuse; we have to keep going.”
