Uli Hoeness, Bayern Munich\u2019s honorary president, has expressed doubts about Jamal Musiala<\/a>\u2018s return to top form that established him as one of Europe\u2019s most exciting young players.\n<\/p>\n

Hoeness made the remarks about the German international following a health setback that has raised concerns over his long-term recovery and future at the German champions.\n<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old reportedly collapsed twice within four days during pre-season, with subsequent medical assessments revealing a treatable neurological dysfunction.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are facing a dilemma in this case, as he is suffering from an illness that cannot simply be cured, but it can be controlled to a certain extent with the use of medication,\u201d Hoeness told Bavarian broadcaster BR24.<\/p>\n

Hoeness added that Bayern would continue to support Musiala, who is under contract with the club until 2030.\n<\/p>\n

Musiala has scored two goals in four appearances for Bayern in all competitions this season.\n<\/p>\n

Matthaus says Hoeness wants to motivate Musiala<\/h3>\n

Former Bayern Munich and Germany captain Lothar Matthaus believes Hoeness\u2019 comments were intended to challenge Musiala and encourage him to fight his way back to his best.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s needling him a little. It\u2019s not just about wrapping him in cotton wool. He also has to battle against adversity sometimes,\u201d Matthaus told Sky90.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cUli was looking to create that adversity with this statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fine for him to say something like that, because we can\u2019t just put a positive spin on things and somehow wait for him to come back.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were in Jamal Musiala\u2019s position, that would be motivation enough to show Uli I\u2019m back.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Musiala\u2019s record at Bayern Munich<\/h3>\n

Musiala joined Bayern in 2019 after coming through Chelsea\u2019s academy and has since become a key figure in the club\u2019s attack.\n<\/p>\n

He has scored 71 goals and provided 38 assists in 235 appearances for Bayern since breaking into the first team as a 17-year-old.\n<\/p>\n

One of the youngest players to represent Germany at the senior level, Musiala shared the Golden Boot as the joint top scorer at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n

He has not played for Bayern since suffering a hamstring injury in September, but has recently returned to training as he works towards a return to competitive action.<\/p>\n
