Musiala said back in October that he was taking “one step at a time” in his recovery after suffering a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula at the Club World Cup in the USA after a collision with then Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Kane delighted to see Davies and Musiala back
Now, he and Davies who, after a nine-month knee injury, is back in contention for the side in what is a major boost for the German champions.
Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, Kane revealed how happy he is to see the pair return as he compares the two stars to brand-new signings.
"It's great that he's back. Even before his first injury at the end of last season, I often thought he was the best player we have on the team. It's similar with Alphonso Davies. It feels like we've signed two valuable new players. I'm very happy that they're both back.
“They play an important role – especially in the system we play. They're a perfect fit! With their strength in challenges, the way they initiate attacks, and the runs they make."
"However, they shouldn't put too much pressure on themselves and should first get back to top fitness," he said. "That will certainly take a few more weeks. But we'll need them even more, especially from February onwards, as we head into the crunch time."
When will Musiala return?
Musiala also completed his first light training session with the team on Monday, an important step after his long injury break. He is set to return before the New Year, as confirmed by manager Vincent Kompany.
"Jamal is close," he said. "Hopefully next week. But I want to be very clear: zero pressure on Jamal and the medical department. Hopefully he can get in a few training sessions before Christmas.
“That would simply feel good – for the team and for him. And then his first minutes on the pitch should follow in January. That would be an ideal plan for us."
