- Uli Hoeness publicly questioned the midfielder's future level.
- Lothar Matthäus slammed the Bayern honorary president's remarks.
Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Jamal Musiala has been diagnosed with absence seizures, a neurological condition classified as a form of epilepsy that has previously caused him to lose consciousness on the pitch.
Following the diagnosis, Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness expressed concern over the player's career, stating he did not know if the midfielder would ever return to his previous level. The remarks immediately sparked widespread discussion regarding the athlete's future in football.
German football icon Lothar Matthäus strongly criticised Hoeness in a column for Sky Sport Germany, arguing that the honorary president's public disclosure created unnecessary speculation. Matthäus also stated his belief that the club was unhappy with the fallout from the statements, noting that Hoeness himself would typically be the first to object if someone else made such remarks.
