Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry return for Bayern Munich Champions League opener
Summary

Bayern Munich hosts Bodo/Glimt this Thursday at the Allianz Arena for the opening match of the Champions League campaign. Manager Vincent Kompany heads into the fixture with a largely clean injury report after receiving positive updates on key attacking players. Jamal Musiala is available for selection following a recovery from dizziness and circulatory issues that occurred during pre-season. The attacking midfielder, who underwent minor foot surgery earlier this summer, played 33 minutes in a recent league match against Schalke. Serge Gnabry has also returned to full team training on Wednesday after an injury layoff and is expected to be included in the match-day squad. His availability provides Kompany with additional tactical flexibility as the team prepares to challenge for both domestic and European titles.
