Lothar Matthäus urges Musiala to move past injury concerns next season

Lothar Matthäus, the 1990 Ballon d'Or winner, stated that Jamal Musiala should not use his prior serious injury as an excuse in the upcoming season. Matthäus emphasized the importance of Musiala closing that chapter, particularly due to competition from players like Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl. He noted that while Musiala displayed promising performance towards the end of last season, the time has come for him to prove himself without referring back to past injuries. This commentary comes ahead of the new season starting next month.
