Jamal Musiala looks set to play for Bayern Munich in their final FIFA Club World Cup Group C match against Benfica on Tuesday, after suffering an injury in the team's previous game.

Musiala entered the pitch in the 57th minute as a substitute for Serge Gnabry in Bayern's 2-1 victory over the Argentinian side on Friday that secured a place in the round of 16 for Vincent Kompany's men.

However, the 22-year-old was forced off again just 25 minutes later, being replaced by Thomas Müller, having suffered a knock.

After receiving medical treatment on the field, he enjoyed a rest day on Saturday back at Bayern's base in Florida.

The attacker was able to complete a full training session on Sunday morning though, as Kompany began his preparations for facing Benfica in Charlotte, North Carolina, with Bayern aiming to make it three wins from three and go through to the last 16 as section winners.

Minaje Kim also took part in some of the session following a knock of his own.
