Musiala had previously collapsed twice on the field during friendly matches against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim, forcing him to leave the game early. He subsequently revealed that he suffers from a neurological disorder called "absence paralysis." He has not played for Bayern Munich since.
Bayern Munich later confirmed that the club had known about Musiala's condition for several months, and that his discomfort was reportedly related to adjustments in his treatment plan.
When discussing this matter, Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthäus stated on Sky90 that Musiala's situation precisely reflects the unity within Bayern Munich.
“One of the most significant things that happened to me at Bayern Munich was the Musiala incident,” Matthäus said.
He revealed that Bayern's management and team doctors had known about the situation for about six or seven months, and that it wasn't just the club president and medical team who were aware of it; the entire team was aware of it.
"But this didn't leak out at all. This shows the team's cohesion, not only on the field but also off the field."
Matthäus also highly praised Bayern's handling of this sensitive issue. Musiala has now resumed training with the team, but whether he will be included in coach Kompany's squad for Wednesday's German Cup away match against Osnabrück remains uncertain.
“I have the utmost respect for how united and tactful they were in handling this topic. All I can say is, salute to Bayern Munich,” Matthäus said.
