Three days from the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich are sweating on the fitness of one of their most important players, which is Jamal Musiala.
Musiala missed Bayern's demolition of Union Berlin last weekend through injury, although he was expected to return to face Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, three days before the match with Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena. However, he was forced to leave the team after suffering a recurrence of a niggling tendon problem.

Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel also spoke on the matter just before the kick-off of the match against Frankfurt, as per MD.
“He can't play. He really wanted to play and we wanted to play. He was pain-free for two days, but yesterday he felt it again. It's a tendon irritation that really prevents him.”
Musiala's absence on Tuesday would be a massive blow for Bayern, but a big boost for Real Madrid. The next two days will be crucial to determine if he can play a role at the Allianz Arena.
