The honorary president of the Bavarian club, Uli Hoeness, has raised questions about the possibility of German star, Jamal Musiala, returning to his highest level, due to the health problems he is facing.
In an interview with Bavarian television BR, Hoeness spoke about the footballer's delicate situation, admitting that there is still no certainty whether he will be able to fully recover the form that has transformed him into one of Bayern's most important players.
"It's a complicated situation. He has an illness that is not easy to cure, but that can be kept under control to some extent with medication. However, we don't know if he will return to playing as before," Hoeness declared.
He also touched on the financial aspect of the situation, mentioning the important contract that Musiala has with the German club.
"He continues to receive his salary, but imagine if Bayern were to question the contract. The performance he can currently show is not in line with what is foreseen in it," added the honorary president.
The statements take on particular significance considering that Musiala renewed his contract with Bayern Munich in February 2025, extending the collaboration until 2030. The agreement was reached after lengthy negotiations and placed the footballer among the team's highest-paid players, with reported income of around 25 million euros per season.
According to reports, the German midfielder is suffering from a functional neurological disorder, which can be accompanied by episodes of loss of consciousness. He is currently out of action due to physical problems, although he has returned to training with the rest of the squad.
Expectations are that Musiala will be available again after the championships are interrupted for international matches, but Hoeness' statements have added uncertainty over his long-term form.
Meanwhile, coach Vincent Kompany's situation seems more optimistic. The Belgian coach has been absent from Bayern's bench due to a health problem related to irritation of the meninges, following an episode in which he lost consciousness on the club's premises.
Hoeness said that the coach's condition worries the club, but believes that his return is imminent.
"It worries us a lot, but I don't think it's anything serious. I think it was an untreated flu that then caused the inflammation. He works 12 hours a day, six days a week. It's a very big load," Hoeness declared.
According to him, Kompany could return to the bench within two or three weeks, after the end of the international matches. This is a prediction by Hoeness and not an official date confirmed by the club.
For Bayern Munich, the biggest concern remains Musiala's long-term recovery. Hoeness also stressed the importance of the club's support for the player, despite uncertainty over his form.
