Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness has discussed midfielder Jamal Musiala’s health and prospects of returning to his previous form.
Hoeness said the club faces a difficult choice: Musiala’s illness cannot simply be treated and eliminated, but it can be managed to some extent with medication. He also questioned whether the player would ever be able to return to the level of performance he had previously shown. Bayern & Germany published Hoeness’ remarks.
The club official also addressed Musiala’s contract. He said it was worth considering how it would look if Bayern were to question the deal and state that the player’s current capabilities did not match the level envisaged in the agreement.
In August, Musiala lost consciousness twice in succession during matches. Medical staff assisted him on both occasions, after which the midfielder was substituted.
