This October (or Oktober) international window sees Bayern Munich leading in the way in the Bundesliga table but smack dab in the middle when it comes to the UCL table. So you have some good and some bad here. And the Bavarian giatns have a very long injury list, and it’s taking two articles to cover them all. Here in part two, we’ll go over this quartet: Tarek Buchman, Dayot Upamecano, Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala
In part one, Harry Kane, Hiroki Ito, Sacha Boey and Josip Stanisic were covered. You can read that here.
Tarek Buchman
Nothing major going on here, just a matter of match fitness.
Dayot Upamecano
Versatile central defender has a hamstring injury that could keep him out for a couple/few weeks.
Mathys Tel
Tel has a shoulder injury, and at this point, we don’t know how long it could keep him out of action.
Jamal Musiala
Once again, we’re not really sure on the timeline here, but Musiala is dealing with a hip injury right now.
Hey, it won’t be long until international break starts to wind down, and we can talk about previewing matches again.
