Uli Hoeneß, honorary president of Bayern Munich, voiced doubts on Sunday about Jamal Musiala, the 23-year-old German attacking midfielder, returning to his level before his health problems. Speaking on the regional broadcaster BR, he says medical follow-up controls the player’s neurological disorder, without guaranteeing he will regain all his abilities.

Uli Hoeneß, honorary president of Bayern Munich, voiced doubts on Sunday about the ability of Jamal Musiala, the 23-year-old German attacking midfielder, to return to his level before his health problems. Speaking on the programme "Sonntags-Stammtisch" on the regional broadcaster BR, he described a "dilemma".

The player has explained that he is being monitored by specialists for a temporary neurological dysfunction, which he presents as easily treatable and posing no additional risk to his health. According to Hoeneß, this monitoring makes it possible to control the disorder, without guaranteeing that Musiala will regain all his sporting abilities.

This situation is separate from the hamstring injury that delayed his return to competition. Bayern has announced that Musiala has resumed collective training, without yet being available for matches, and has not given any date for his return to competition.
