Bayern Munich’s Lennart Karl set to earn maiden Germany call-up; Jamal Musiala to miss out Lennart Karl is expected to receive his first call-up to the German national team following a standout season with Bayern Munich, according to reports from Bild. The 19-year-old has made a significant impact this campaign, scoring seven goals and adding five assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. His performances have caught the attention of coach Julian Nagelsmann, who has praised the young player’s contributions. Karl, who signed his professional contract in the summer, has already made history by becoming the youngest German goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history. He achieved this feat by netting in three consecutive matches against Club Brugge, Arsenal, and Sporting CP. His rapid rise has positioned him as a key candidate for the national team, marking a major milestone in his career. Meanwhile, Jamal Musiala is set to miss Germany’s upcoming squad selection due to a precautionary measure related to an ankle injury. The 23-year-old missed Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen and will also sit out the Champions League clash against Atalanta. Additionally, he is expected to be sidelined for the Matchday 27 fixture against Union Berlin. Musiala’s last appearance for Germany was in March 2025, and he will need to recover fully before being considered for future international duty. The Bayern star’s absence highlights the challenges of balancing club and national team commitments, especially with key matches on the horizon. The decision to exclude Musiala underscores the cautious approach taken by the German coaching staff, prioritizing his long-term fitness over immediate squad needs.#bayern_munich #jamal_musiala #julian_nagelsmann #lennart_karl #germany_national_team
Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, Jonas Urbig, and Jamal Musiala will miss upcoming matches after sustaining injuries during their 6-1 Champions League victory over Atalanta. The Bundesliga leaders confirmed the trio's absences following the first leg of their last-16 tie, which took place at New Balance Arena on March 11, 2026. The match, which saw Bayern cruise to a dominant win, came at a cost as Davies, Urbig, and Musiala all suffered injuries. Musiala and Urbig were sidelined in the second-half stoppage time, with Urbig colliding with Nikola Krstovic moments before Mario Pasalic scored Atalanta’s 93rd-minute consolation goal. Davies, who had only entered the game at halftime, was substituted in the 71st minute after a confirmed right thigh muscle strain. The Canadian international had just assisted Michael Olise for his second goal of the match before being withdrawn, leaving the pitch in tears. Musiala, who had already missed the first half of the 2025-26 season after breaking his ankle at the Club World Cup, faces another setback. Urbig, a key midfielder, will also be sidelined, though the duration of their recoveries remains unspecified. Bayern’s medical team has not provided timelines for their return, leaving uncertainty about their availability for the next fixtures. Despite the injuries, Bayern’s emphatic win has secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals. The 6-1 result marks their second time scoring at least six goals in an away European knockout round match, following their 7-3 victory over Legia Warsaw in the UEFA Cup First Round in October 1988. The performance also highlights the team’s attacking prowess, with Michael Olise playing a pivotal role in the victory.#bayern_munich #alphonso_davies #jamal_musiala #jonas_urbig #new_balance_arena
Lucky Break for Alphonso Davies: FC Bayern Announces Diagnoses for Jamal Musiala and Jonas Urbig Trio FC Bayern Munich confirmed the official medical diagnoses for injuries sustained by Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Jonas Urbig following their 6–1 (3–0) Champions League victory over Atalanta Bergamo in the round of 16 first leg. The match, which saw Bayern dominate proceedings, ended with three players suffering setbacks. Davies, who was substituted after just 20 minutes, suffered a hamstring strain. This follows a previous muscle fiber tear he sustained shortly after returning from a cruciate ligament rupture in mid-February. His emotional reaction to the latest injury, including tears during the substitution, has raised questions about the impact of his recent recovery. Davies is expected to miss at least until the international break but could return for the April 1 away game against SC Freiburg. Musiala, meanwhile, is dealing with lingering pain in his left ankle, an injury he sustained during the summer. The club stated he should be able to resume team training soon, though he remains in the recovery phase from a severe fibula fracture and ligament damage sustained earlier this year. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig suffered a concussion in the final moments of the match after a heavy collision with Atalanta’s Nikola Krstovic. The incident occurred just before Mario Pasalic scored the rebound to extend Bayern’s lead to 2-1. Sporting director Max Eberl described Urbig as “a bit dazed” and noted he now has a “huge headache.” The injury to Urbig has forced Bayern to rely on Sven Ulreich for his season debut, set for Saturday.#fc_bayern_munich #alphonso_davies #jamal_musiala #jonas_urbig #max_eberl
