Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany says it would not be “a big deal” if attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala were to experience another seizure while managing a neurological condition. Musiala has been dealing with a form of seizures described publicly by the player, and he recently collapsed twice in consecutive preseason matches.
Musiala went public with his diagnosis of “absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction.” After those incidents, Bayern continues to monitor his health and assess how he is performing in training. Kompany says he is evaluating Musiala’s work in practice as the club considers how and when to include him in matchday plans.
Despite the medical situation and the recent collapses, Musiala is named in Bayern’s Champions League squad. Across the coverage, the main emphasis is on Bayern’s ongoing evaluation process rather than any immediate change to his overall standing in the squad, with outlets focusing on Kompany’s comments and Musiala’s public disclosure of the diagnosis.
