Bayern Powerbroker Uli Hoeneß Says Musiala May Never Return to the Player He Was
Hoeneß said Musiala’s illness can be managed with medication, but he questioned whether the Bayern star can again reach his previous level.
- On Sunday, Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness questioned whether Germany forward Jamal Musiala can "regain the performance level he once had" after being diagnosed with a neurological disorder.
- After collapsing twice in August, Musiala was diagnosed with "neurological dysfunction," compounded by a broken leg in July 2025 and a hamstring injury sidelining him since September.
- Describing the situation as "a dilemma," Hoeness suggested Bayern might eventually question whether Musiala's current capabilities meet his contractual obligations, noting medication can only partially control the illness.
- Lothar Matthaeus, a former Bayern captain, interpreted the comments as provocation, telling broadcaster Sky, "Uli is taking a little stab at him" to motivate the player.
- Wellbeing remains the club's primary concern, Hoeness stressed, as the 23-year-old remains under contract at Bayern until 2030 while working toward "full recovery.
