Musiara was interviewed by Sports Photos, and he talked about his injury, details about Donnarumma at the time, and his views on his comeback. What was your first thought after the collision?
Musiara: "I closed my eyes and it was obviously painful. You can imagine what was thinking in my mind at that moment. After all, the game against Paris Saint-Germain was my first return to the starter after a muscle injury. How long will I be missing this time? What will happen next?"
What do you think about Donnarumma's discussion of not apologizing to you immediately?
Musiara: "I don't care, this can't change anything. At that moment, my mind was elsewhere. I can imagine how uncomfortable Donaruma was at that time. He rushed to the ball, not intentionally: I was not angry with Donaruma, and he contacted me later. It's all right, this kind of thing will inevitably happen."
How did you deal with injuries during this period?
Musiara: "I moved and returned to my parents' house from my own apartment in the city. This has two meanings for me: I need both emotional encouragement and practical help, because I could hardly act at the time. My mother helped me adjust the rehabilitation equipment such as lymphatic massager, get me something, and cook. Being with me makes everything easier. For example, my sister Latisha and I started watching the new drama "Scandal". "
Your best friend in the team is Alfonso Davis, who was also absent due to a torn cruciate ligament. Sane, who has a good relationship with you, has also left the team. Which teammate can you support now?
Musiara: "Fonzi (Alfonso) and I were closely together during the recovery process. It would be better when we could train together soon, which is cool and fun. We returned roughly the same time. Olisse and I were also very close and talked about almost everything every day. The three of us are already looking forward to the day when we return to the field and fight side by side. Overall, the whole team gave me great support, which made me feel very warm."
Do you have a timeline for your comeback?
Musiara: "You can never predict the specific pace of the recovery process. Sometimes it goes well and may require another three days of buffering afterwards. I am patiently recovering and don't want to set a specific date. But based on the current progress, I want to say: My goal is to return to the arena for Bayern Munich in 2025. When I step back on the stadium, I have to make sure I am ready."
How are your connection with Nagelsmann? He plans to make you the core player of the 2026 World Cup
Musiara: "Julian came to visit me at home, we chatted for a while, and got along well. He also understood that I shouldn't be a hasty comeback. The better option is to return at the end of the season and at the World Cup."
You will change to the No. 10 jersey at Bayern, what does that mean for you?
Musiara: "It has always been my dream to wear Bayern's No. 10 jersey. But I did think deeply about it for a long time, because it was not easy to give up No. 42. I haven't fully adapted to the concept of No. 10. But with my return, a new chapter is about to begin. After all this, this is the perfect arrangement: the new number symbolizes a new beginning. When I was in the national team, No. 10 brought me good luck. I was very happy that time went well. Now that my dream came true at Bayern, it gave me extra motivation. Many legends once had this number, which certainly brought pressure, but I will meet this challenge and responsibility." Will
Conceive certain scenarios or moments specifically?
Musiara: "At present, I often watch my game videos, analyzing the links that need improvement. I want to become stronger than before I was injured. Of course, I would imagine lifting a league trophy or a World Cup. But more often I am conceiving every next step in the recovery process." Is Sane's departure sad?
Musiara: "We are very close and we still keep in touch frequently. This is the decision he made for himself and his family. As long as Leroy is happy, I will be happy for him."
What do you miss the most?
Musiara: "It's simple, I miss the team. I miss the friendship between us. This feeling not only exists in the arena: on the bus, in the hotel, on the journey. I miss the laughter with Olise, and Kimmich's jokes. I'm losing an important part of my life. I will cherish it even more when I return."
