Jamal Musiala is finally back on the grass after spending three and a half months on the sidelines with a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle suffered against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. The Bayern Munich prodigy has now taken his first major step toward full recovery. Smiling, confident and motivated, Musiala is “taking it step by step” as he returns to training.

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham all earned nods from Harry Kane in an exclusive quickfire question session with GOAL that saw the Bayern Munich striker name the best player he has played against and his boyhood idol. The England captain also picked out the best passer of a ball that he has ever seen and the young talent that he is most excited about watching develop.

Jamal Musiala opened up on his experience of dealing with a long-term injury, claiming that a footballer "learns a lot" while going through the recovery process. Having fractured his fibula in a Club World Cup game in July, it's not yet clear when the 22-year-old will return to the pitch. However, the German international cannot wait to "come back even better" and "have fun" with his Bayern Munich team-mates.

Harry Kane has lifted the lid on his new role within Bayern Munich's dominant start to the season, saying that the absence of Jamal Musiala has allowed him to drop deeper and become more involved in his side's build-up play. The England captain made the comments after bagging yet another goal in Bayern's 3-0 win away over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Jamal Musiala has been dubbed irreplaceable "like Lionel Messi" by German icon, Lothar Matthaus, after a shock World Cup qualifying defeat to Slovakia. The Bayern Munich midfielder fractured his fibula and damaged ankle ligaments following a brutal collision with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Club World Cup. The 22-year-old was stretchered off in Atlanta, visibly distraught, and Bayern later confirmed he requires surgery that will sideline him for several months.
