Jamal Musiala Injury Sours Bayern Munich Win At Augsburg

Bayern Munich's 3-1 win at 10-man Augsburg on Friday put them nine points clear of Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga table but came at a cost with midfielder Jamal Musiala injured days out from facing Inter Milan. Dimitrios Giannoulis opened the scoring for the hosts 30 minutes in from a free kick but Musiala equalised just before half-time, collecting the ball on the spin before hammering home. Harry Kane put Bayern in front midway through the second half with a header, his 23rd league goal of the season, and Leroy Sane forced a late own goal, but all eyes will be on Musiala.

Injuries Put Undermanned Bayern Munich's Title Bid To The Test

Away at in-form Augsburg on Friday, Bayern Munich's hopes of winning the Bundesliga title will depend on how they manage an injury crisis ripping through the club. Bayern are six points clear of defending champions Bayer Leverkusen with seven games remaining but a series of injuries to key players, particularly at the back, have the German giants limping toward the finish line. Defender Hiroki Ito broke his foot for a second time this season on Saturday, joining a long-term injury list including left-back Alphonso Davies, centre-back Dayot Upamecano, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic and forward Kingsley Coman.

"It was a bit tight at the end, but we are really happy to have got the three points," Sane told Sky.

'Magic Moment' To Inspire Bayern Munich Chase, Says Bayer Leverkusen Boss Xabi Alonso

The win brought the defending champions to within six points of Bayern, who drew 1-1 at Union Berlin on Saturday, with eight games to play.

Bayern Munich were held to a 1-1 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday, giving defending champions Bayer Leverkusen an outside chance of dragging themselves back into the Bundesliga title race.
