Bayern Munich Legend Uli Hoeness Questions Jamal Musiala’s Ability to Get Back to Top Form Again
Hoeness says Musiala’s illness can be controlled with medication, but questions whether the Bayern star will regain his previous performance 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.
Stammtisch des Bayerischen Rundfunks: The honorary president publicly questions whether Jamal Musiala will be the old man again. This is neither speculation nor fatalism.
The surprising statements of the honorary president of FC Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeneß, about the difficult topic Jamal Musiala caused a sensation this weekend and the fans of FC Bayern divided in their opinions.
