Bayern Munich boosted by Musiala return for Schalke
Jamal Musiala is set to return to Bayern’s squad against Schalke after missing the first three games with a treatable neurological issue.
Ahead of Bayern’s trip to Schalke, Alex Hefer suggested Manuel Neuer could return to his old club after retirement, though Bayern also see a future role for him.
Schalke's Axel Hefer said Bayern's dominance makes the Bundesliga 'boring' and urged a format change. Herbert Hainer rejected play-offs, insisting the team top after 34 matchdays should win the title.
Former Bayern defender Raphaël Guerreiro could join AS Roma on a free transfer after his contract expired. Roma want left-back cover, with no move yet agreed.
Bayern are in talks with Saudi clubs over Sacha Boey, who is open to moving. Everton interest collapsed, and the right-back could still leave before the Saudi window shuts.
Bayern head to Schalke in strong form, with Musiala back in the squad and Gnabry still out. Kompany is expected to start Olise, Saibari, Díaz and Kane.
Kompany dismissed claims of a Bayern board rift over transfers as 'pulled from the AI cloud'. Freund backed him, while the coach also said Jamal Musiala is improving.
Musiala has returned to full training and could make Bayern’s squad at Schalke, while Gnabry remains out. Predicted XI includes Olise, Saibari, Díaz and Kane.
Roy Makaay said Bayern are favourites to reach the Champions League final, praising their stronger squad and the title-winning mentality expected at Säbener Straße.
