Bayern Munich ended their pre-season with a win against Heidenheim on Tuesday. However, the game was largely shadowed by another scare for Jamal Musiala on the pitch. The German attacking midfielder collapsed on the pitch for the second time in four days. He had a similar incident when Bayern played RB Leipzig last weekend.
Max Eberl insisted that Musiala will talk about these two incidents. The 23-year-old revealed that he is currently suffering from temporary but easily treatable episodes of absence seizures. Musiala insisted that he can continue to play at the top level and has the best medical support around him.
It is certainly a major shock for the Bavarian faithful and a setback for Musiala. He has endured a difficult time with injury over the last 12 months. The young attacking midfielder had missed the initial part of the pre-season due to surgery to remove the metal plate from his leg.
Musiala had suffered a serious injury last summer during the game against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. He missed the first half of last season due to this injury. The German attacking midfielder needed a few months after making his return to show glimpses of his brilliance.
Bayern are backing Musiala to overcome the latest setback. It will be intriguing to see whether Musiala needs a period of rest or his condition requires management. Die Roten have not provided a detailed update on his recovery, which is understandable.
Bayern will not call for reinforcements in the attack
Considering the recent developments about Musiala, it is natural to think Bayern may look for an attacking signing in the final two weeks of the window.
However, Sky Sports in Germany has reported that Bayern have no plans to look for a number ten. They are content with their options. Ismael Saibari, Lennart Karl, and Serge Gnabry can play in the number ten role.
Bayern are not expected to sign any players before the end of the transfer window. They are content with their business. The current focus is on finding clubs for Joao Palhinha, Bryan Zaragoza, and Sacha Boey as they are not part of Vincent Kompany’s plans for next season.
The Bavarian faithful will hope Musiala recovers well and gets back to his best sooner rather than later. He remains in the thoughts of all Bayern fans and will get strong support at the Allianz Arena when Bayern play their first game of the season.
