Jamal Musiala will miss Bayern Munich’s squad for the Franz-Beckenbauer-Supercup against Borussia Dortmund due to side effects stemming from adjusted medication for his underlying condition, according to club statements reported by Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa).
Supercup Absence and Medical Context
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany confirmed ahead of the Supercup fixture that Jamal Musiala is training individually and will not travel to Dortmund. According to Kompany, the 23-year-old midfielder made a change to his ongoing medical treatment that produced minor side effects. “Es ist völlig normal, dass man in einer Behandlung etwas probiert,” Kompany stated, adding that the club is handling the situation with complete calm and expects the playmaker to return once he adjusts to the new regimen without pressure.
The decision follows a series of on-field incidents during Bayern’s recent preseason preparations. FC Heidenheim. Following the second occurrence in Heidenheim, the player provided context regarding his long-standing condition, identifying the episodes as “Absenzen” linked to a neurological dysfunction.
Club Leadership Addresses the Timeline
Sporting director Max Eberl explained that the altered medication caused the recent seizure-like episodes (“Krampfanfälle”) to appear more pronounced over a short timeframe. Eberl emphasized that the club leadership has been fully aware of Musiala’s medical status for quite some time, noting that the management team has tracked the condition throughout the previous season.
Kompany echoed those remarks, stating that the initial shock moment for the coaching staff occurred a significant time ago. Because the club has maintained awareness of the condition, medical experts have been consulted over a prolonged period. “Wir gehen nicht in einer Unruhe damit um,” Kompany assured reporters, stressing that the club sees no reason to question the player’s long-term career outlook.
Next Steps and Match Outlook
Musiala will continue individual training sessions while adapting to his updated treatment plan. Bayern Munich enters Saturday’s Supercup clash at Borussia Dortmund—scheduled for a 20:30 local time (UTC+2) kickoff—without their dynamic offensive star, relying on the wider squad depth while monitoring his recovery ahead of upcoming fixtures.
