Musiala remains sidelined for Bayern opener, says Kompany
BERLIN: Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany confirmed on Thursday midfielder Jamal Musiala would not be back in time for this week’s Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart as he continues to manage a neurological condition.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has announced that midfielder Jamal Musiala will not be available for the team's upcoming Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart due to a neurological condition. The 23-year-old German international suffered two collapses during pre-season friendlies in August, leading to his diagnosis of a treatable, temporary seizure disorder.
Musiala has since returned to training but Kompany stated that he is not yet a full member of the squad for the Friday home match. He revealed that a change in treatment, involving a reduction in Musiala's medication, contributed to his recent collapses. Kompany assured that the player is gradually adapting to the increased medication and expects to return to the squad in due course, with the final decision to be made in consultation with medical experts.
