Musiala Leads Bayern Clash Against Frankfurt
Jamal Musiala is making headlines as he returns to the starting lineup for Bayern Munich in their Bundesliga clash against Eintracht Frankfurt. This match, scheduled for February 21, 2026, marks his first appearance as a starter since April of the previous year.
Significant Changes in the Bayern Lineup
Under the guidance of coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich is making substantial changes to their formation. Musiala gets the nod to start, having previously been used as a substitute in recent league matches since his return in mid-January.
- Musiala’s Return: First Bundesliga start in over ten months.
- Opposition: Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Date and Time: February 21, 2026, at 15:30 (local time).
Previous Match and Lineup Adjustments
The team saw six changes from their last match, a convincing 3-0 victory against Werder Bremen. Key player adjustments include:
- In: Jonas Urbig, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala.
- Out: Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Leon Goretzka, Lennart Karl, Serge Gnabry.
Upcoming Challenges and Strategy
One week ahead of a crucial match against Borussia Dortmund, Kompany is making strategic decisions. Notably, he continues to trust Joshua Kimmich despite a looming yellow card suspension.
This match not only represents a comeback for Musiala but also sets the stage for Bayern’s tactical readiness as they look to maintain their position in the Bundesliga.
