Jamal Musiala has disclosed that he is dealing with brief, temporary, but treatable absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction, which affected him during pre-season and kept him out of Bayern’s Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup match against Borussia Dortmund.

Musiala suffered two on-pitch falls within three days in recent fixtures, prompting medical observation as he addresses the issue.

He is currently training individually under rehab coach Simon Martinello and assistant Floribert Ngalula, with Bayern aiming for a swift return to the squad.

Bayern is relying on existing attacking midfield options rather than pursuing a new signing, according to Sky’s Florian Plettenberg.

club officials, including Vincent Kompany, say Bayern has established procedures and remains optimistic about Musiala’s condition, reinforcing the club’s support network.

Bayern is focusing on strengthening attacking depth in response to injuries and ongoing monitoring of Musiala’s condition.

Some first-team players, such as Kane, Olise, and Dayot Upamecano, have resumed training after their World Cup break and are expected to feature, with Kane potentially shifting to striker if needed.

Ismael Saibari, Bayern’s high-profile summer signing, is viewed as the leading candidate to replace Musiala as the central playmaker if required.

No final outcomes are confirmed; timelines depend on Musiala’s progress and fitness.

Kimmich has expressed confidence in Musiala’s return, underscoring the squad’s supportive environment and leadership during his recovery.

Bayern has kept details private about the medication adjustment, while ensuring ongoing support for Musiala.

Kompany notes Musiala’s absence will force tactical adjustments as Bayern aims to defend the title against Dortmund, leveraging flexibility in attack.
