Musiala’s on-field collapses result from treatment change, says Bayern coach Kompany

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany attributed Jamal Musiala's on-field collapses to a change in his treatment for a neurological disorder, assuring there is no cause for alarm. The 23-year-old Germany international experienced two collapses in recent friendly matches, requiring medical attention and assistance from the pitch. Musiala revealed he had been diagnosed with the disorder, and the episodes were now part of his everyday life.

During a press conference, Kompany confirmed that Musiala had modified his treatment, which led to some side effects as expected during treatment adjustments. Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl stated that the club supported Musiala, who had wished for the condition to be public. Musiala will miss the upcoming German Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund, allowing him time to adjust to his condition being publicly known.

Eberl emphasized that the team and players had been aware of the situation throughout the previous season and that they would continue to provide unwavering support to Musiala as he navigates this new chapter. Kompany expressed complete calm, confident that Musiala's progress and newfound capabilities would enable him to deliver the desired results.
