Jamal Musiala nears return to FC Bayern Munich following neurological diagnosis

FC Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala is nearing a return to competition following a diagnosis of absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction. The 23-year-old collapsed twice during preseason matches, leading to an adjustment in his medication.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany stated that Musiala has been training well and is currently seizure-free. Kompany emphasized a desire for normalcy, noting that if another episode were to occur in the future, it would not be considered a major alarm for the club. Musiala has indicated there is no additional health risk to playing professional soccer.

Musiala is expected to be included in the squad for the upcoming Bundesliga match against Schalke 04, though his actual playing time remains a decision for the coaching staff based on his training performance. The club is working closely with medical experts to manage his condition.
