Bayern Munich: Musiala had neurological issue for ‘long time,’ treatment change caused collapses

Bayern Munich has been aware of Jamal Musiala's neurological issue for at least a year, according to board member Max Eberl. The player collapsed during successive games over the past week, causing alarm. Eberl and Bayern coach Vincent Kompany revealed that the incidents were triggered by a change in Musiala's treatment for the neurological dysfunction.

Musiala himself confirmed the diagnosis in an Instagram post, stating there is no additional health risk. Bayern's honorary president Uli Hoeness described the situation as a "drama" for the club, while Eberl and Kompany remained calm, explaining that they have been dealing with this issue since last season. Kompany mentioned that Musiala will be left out of Saturday's German Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund due to the increased attention on the player, but emphasized that everyone at the club is relaxed about his condition.
