Bayern Munich officials provide update on Musiala's health

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl have released new details about Jamal Musiala's health.

The 23-year-old has been suffering from brief epileptic seizures, or absences, due to a neurological disorder. According to Eberl, the club was aware of the problem last season and has been working on Musiala's condition regularly.

Musiala's recent collapse on the pitch in friendlies against Leipzig and Heidenheim was linked to a change in treatment.

"He changed his treatment a little bit. It caused some side effects. That's why the first and second cases happened. It's completely normal to try a different method from time to time during the treatment process," Kompany said.

Eberl said the main task now is to adjust Musiala's medication and get him back to his previous long-term seizure-free status.

Kompany also noted that Musiala's condition is not causing panic within the club. He said Bayern are following the advice of leading experts on the player's health.

Musiala is currently undergoing individual training and will not play in the German Super Cup match against Borussia Dortmund on August 23. This decision was made not because of concerns about his general condition, but to allow him to adapt to the latest changes in treatment.

Kompany also gave a positive assessment of the player's form. According to the coach, Musiala has made significant progress since his injury and has every chance of returning to his previous level.

Musiala is expected to return to the squad in the first match of the new Bundesliga season against Stuttgart.
