FC Bayern Munich personnel and health issues
Overview
FC Bayern Munich is managing several health and personnel challenges involving key figures. Honorary president Uli Hoeneß has publicly addressed the health of Jamal Musiala, noting the player suffers from absence seizures, a neurological disorder that is manageable with medication but difficult to cure. Speaking on the program “Sonntags-Stammtisch,” Hoeneß described the situation as a “dilemma,” raising questions regarding Musiala’s ability to return to previous performance levels and the fairness of his current contract, which runs until 2030 with an estimated annual salary of 25 million euros. Hoeneß suggested the club might eventually need to question whether Musiala’s performance aligns with his contractual terms.
Musiala, 23, previously stated that the condition does not pose an immediate risk to his health and that he intends to continue playing. However, his recent season has been hampered by both his neurological condition and muscle injuries, limiting his appearances to just four matches. Recent reports indicate Musiala experienced two fainting episodes during pre-season friendlies in August 2026. His situation has drawn criticism from football figures, including Dietmar Hamann and Matthias Sammer, with the latter expressing sympathy for the player while acknowledging the club’s economic perspectives.
Regarding coaching staff, Vincent Kompany has been sidelined due to meningitis, which Hoeneß attributed to exhaustion, high stress, and a severe flu. While club official Max Eberl disputed the link to overwork, Hoeneß predicted Kompany would return to the bench within two to three weeks after the international break. Additionally, the club is monitoring goalkeeper Manuel Neuer following a foot injury, and Hoeneß has been involved in public disputes with player Lennart Karl.
