Misses only opportunity in draw Musah created one chance and sent one cross (one accurate) during the 0-0 draw with Cadiz on Saturday.

Impact Musah continues to disappoint and once again he was given the chance in the starting XI and he did not turn any heads. The midfielder did have one very good cross that was not received correctly. Otherwise, he did not produce at all. It will not be surprising if he gets relegated back to a bench role.

Stays in starting XI Musah (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Musah stays in the XI Saturday after suffering a suspected hamstring injury last week. He had one shot on goal and four crosses last start and should get similar opportunities against Cadiz even if a full 90 isn't likely.

Leaves with hamstring injury Musah took one shot (one on target), sent four crosses (none accurate) and made two tackles (two won) prior to being replaced by teammate Jason in the 1-1 draw with Athletic on Sat...

Impact Musah made his first start of the season and he immediately had a solid chance to start out. The midfielder looked excellent in the match, but he would eventually go down with an apparent hamstring injury in the final stages. It is unknown the extent of the injury and if he were to be out for an extended amount of time, Jason should look to fill the void.

Makes bench before break Musah (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's match against Alaves.

Impact Musah returns to the squad Friday, which is a good sign going into the international break. There's a chance he'll appear off the bench Friday and if all goes well in the coming weeks, he should be an option to start in the midfield going forward.

Returns to training Musah (undisclosed) participated in Tuesday's training session, according to Manuel Blanc of El Desmarque.

Impact Musah is just returning for his first training session back from injury, so he may be held until after the international break against Osasuna as a precaution. For now, he has the rest of the week to prepare for Friday's visit from Deportivo Alaves.

USMNT lineup for World Cup qualifying in flux due to COVID, glut of injuries

Training alone Musah trained on the side during Wednesday's session, according to Nacho Sanchis of AS.

Impact Musah also missed the season-opener against Getafe and may just need an extended preseason, though surgery shouldn't be in the schedule. Once he returns, Musah will bolster the midfield and winger options for Los Che. Up next is Saturday's trip to Granada.
