collapsed twice in four days<\/a> during pre-season and it was later revealed he had a treatable “neurological dysfunction”.<\/p>\nMusiala has scored two goals in four games for Bayern in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n
“We are facing a dilemma in this case, as he is suffering from an illness that cannot simply be cured, but it can be controlled to a certain extent with the use of medication,” Hoeness told Bavarian network BR24.<\/p>\n
Hoeness said Bayern would support Musiala, who is under contract until 2030.<\/p>\n
Former Bayern and Germany captain Lothar Matthaus said Hoeness is trying to motivate Musiala.<\/p>\n
“He’s needling him a little. It’s not just about wrapping him in cotton wool. He also has to battle against adversity sometimes,” Matthaus told Sky90.<\/p>\n
“Uli was looking to create that adversity with this statement.<\/p>\n
“It’s fine for him to say something like that, because we can’t just put a positive spin on things and somehow wait for him to come back.<\/p>\n
“If I were in Jamal Musiala’s position, that would be motivation enough to show Uli I’m back.”<\/p>\n
Musiala joined Bayern in 2019 after coming through Chelsea’s academy.<\/p>\n
He has scored 71 goals and provided 38 assists in 235 matches for Bayern since breaking into the team as a 17-year-old.<\/p>\n
One of the youngest Germany players in history, Musiala shared the Golden Boot as the joint leading scorer at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
He has not played for Bayern since suffering a hamstring injury in September, but recently returned to training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bayern Munich forward Jamal Musiala may never “regain the performance level he once had”, says honorary president Uli…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-679594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
