Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said that he has a plan for Jamal Musiala, but that the situation is "very flexible."
Musiala made his comeback on Saturday in the 5-1 win against RB Leipzig after being sidelined for six months after breaking his leg at the Club World Cup.
It's unclear whether Musiala will play on Wednesday against Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, but Kompany said: "There's a plan with him, but we're very flexible. (Will he play) 10 minutes? 20 minutes. Is he in pain?
"Every day after training, we're in continuous contact with the medical department. We're now only three days on from Leipzig. We're approaching it very calmly," the coach said in a news conference on Tuesday.
Midfielder Joshua Kimmich, who also made his comeback from injury against Leipzig, is expected to be available for the Champions League clash.
"He was very positive in training today. We have to listen to his feeling a lot. I think he's feeling good for tomorrow, then we'll see who starts," Kompany said.
With two matches left in the league phase, Bayern have at least secured a place in the play-off for the knock-out rounds. But the team will aim to finish in the top eight and secure direct qualification to the last 16.
"I'd like to achieve it because we're close and we've deserved it up to now. It's incredibly difficult to finish in the top eight, it's a bit underappreciated. For that reason alone it'd be nice," Kompany said.
