MUNICH — Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala is set to miss upcoming games for his club and the German national team with a hip injury.

Bayern said Friday that Musiala would be “out for the time being.” Musiala had been included in Germany's squad on Thursday but the team confirmed he would miss upcoming Nations League games this month against Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Netherlands.

Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling could make his debut for Germany after he was called up to replace Musiala.

Musiala played the entire second half of Bayern's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League on Wednesday, the first loss of new coach Vincent Kompany's time in charge. Bayern leads the Bundesliga ahead of playing Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
