Jamal Musiala to miss Supercup due to neurological condition

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala will miss the German Supercup against Borussia Dortmund due to recent health concerns. The 23-year-old has been diagnosed with a neurological dysfunction, specifically absence seizures, which caused him to collapse during two recent friendly matches against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany and sporting director Max Eberl clarified that the club has been aware of Musiala’s condition since the previous season. The recent incidents were attributed to side effects from a change in his medical treatment plan. Kompany stated that the club is working with specialists to stabilize his medication and return to a previous successful regimen.

Despite the recent collapses, medical professionals have indicated there is no additional risk to him playing football, though the episodes can occur unexpectedly. Musiala has expressed optimism about his treatment, and teammates, including Alphonso Davies and Manuel Neuer, have voiced their full support for the player.
