The Story in 60 Seconds

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness revealed that attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala is battling a difficult-to-cure neurological disorder. The 23-year-old German international has experienced recurring health episodes, limiting him to just four appearances and roughly 200 minutes of playing time this season. Hoeness openly expressed uncertainty regarding whether the player will ever return to his previous performance levels.

Musiala previously described the condition in August as a neurological dysfunction involving brief, treatable absences without vital risk, before later suffering a muscle tear in late September. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his playing career, Hoeness affirmed that Bayern Munich fully intends to honor Musiala's contract, which runs through 2030 at approximately 25 million euros per year.
