Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala, Uli Hoeness and Lothar Matthaus
9 November 2026
Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has expressed uncertainty over whether Jamal Musiala can return to his previous performance level after neurological health problems and recurring injuries. Bayern have reiterated their support for the midfielder.
Musiala experienced two collapses during preseason and was subsequently diagnosed with a neurological condition that can be managed with medication. He has also been recovering from a September hamstring injury and recently resumed training. Hoeness described the uncertainty as a difficult situation for Bayern. Former Germany captain Matthaus suggested the comments could motivate Musiala to demonstrate his recovery. No definitive assessment of his future playing ability has been established.

Uncertainty surrounding Musiala's recovery affects Bayern's long-term attacking plans and highlights the importance of managing his return carefully.
