Jamal Musiala Bayern Munich health concerns, Digi Mart USA News: Bayern Munich is facing a difficult start to the season, with a growing list of injuries and health problems affecting the squad. Head coach Vincent Kompany has been hospitalized and is resting after a significant burnout, while several players are also sidelined.
Manuel Neuer, injured in the foot during the match against Mainz, is expected to be out for at least two months. Ismael Saibari will also be absent for several months, while Luis Diaz and Serge Gnabry are expected to miss a few more weeks due to muscle problems.
The most worrying case concerns Jamal Musiala. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has appeared only four times this season, for just over 200 minutes of play in total.
Earlier this summer, after several episodes of dizziness, he explained that he was suffering from a neurological dysfunction that required treatment and led to long periods of absence.
Although Musiala returned to collective training earlier this week, recent comments from club honorary president Uli Hoeness have been far from reassuring. Speaking to Bayerischer Rundfunk, Hoeness said the player has an illness that cannot be cured easily and can only be partly controlled with medication.
“We do not know whether he will be able to perform as he did before,” he said.
Hoeness also indicated that Bayern does not currently intend to question Musiala’s contract, signed in February 2025, which reportedly pays him 25 million euros per season and places him among the highest earners in the squad. “He still receives his salary, but imagine if Bayern questioned his contract by saying the current level of performance is not what his contract calls for,” Hoeness said.
The situation presents a difficult challenge for the player, the coaching staff and the club’s management.
