Jamal Musiala is open about his health issues. The Bayern star even personally prepared his DFB teammates for possible seizures.
Jamal Musiala is now on his way back to normalcy following his health issues. According to Sport BILD, the 23-year-old has his so-called absence seizures under control again. However, he has had a difficult few months—during which he also involved his teammates in his situation early on.
Particularly noteworthy: Musiala personally informed his teammates on the German national team about his health issues even before the World Cup. The Bayern star did not stop at simply informing them about his condition.
As Sport BILD reports, Musiala explained to his DFB teammates in detail what happens to him during a potential seizure and how they should respond afterward. The attacking player apparently wanted to ensure that those around him would be prepared in case of an emergency.
New Bayern players are also being informed
At FC Bayern, Musiala’s health issues have also been known for months. The club has now even established a standard protocol for handling the situation: According to Sport BILD, new players are immediately informed about the matter.
The focus is on Musiala’s desire for as much normality as possible. During team training, the 23-year-old participates fully and does not claim any special status for himself. He does not undergo any special training due to his health issues.
At the same time, Musiala receives close medical supervision. Bayern team doctor Dr. Jochen Hahne is currently one of his most trusted confidants and also looks after him on the national team. Hahne is in regular contact with the neurologists responsible for Musiala’s medication dosage. Dr. Peter Ueblacker is also involved in his care on the Bayern side.
Recent developments offer hope. After Musiala collapsed twice during preseason due to loss of consciousness resulting from neurological dysfunction, his medication was adjusted at the end of August. According to Sport BILD, this change has had the desired effect, and the absence seizures are currently under control.

On the field, too, Musiala is returning to his usual level of play. In the 7-0 win over Union Berlin, he played the full 90 minutes for the first time this season, scored a goal, and set up another.
For the Bayern star, one thing seems to be particularly important: despite the medical support, he wants to keep his daily life as a professional soccer player as normal as possible. His teammates, however, know exactly what to do should another episode occur.
