“I go to bed thinking about him” – Bayern chief Uli Hoeneß reveals deep concern for Musiala after second collapse

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß has been deeply affected by Jamal Musiala’s recent collapses on the pitch.

After Musiala collapsed during Bayern’s 3-1 Telekom Cup win over RB Leipzig at the weekend, a similar incident occurred in Tuesday’s 4-2 friendly victory over 1. FC Heidenheim.

Following the second incident, the Germany international took to Instagram to explain that the incidents were linked to “brief, temporary but easily treatable episodes of absence, which are caused by a neurological dysfunction."

He also made it clear that he remains “optimistic” about his treatment and his career going forward, stating that there is “no further health risk” associated with the absences.

While Hoeneß has been aware of Musiala’s diagnosis for some time, seeing the issue manifest itself on the pitch came as a shock to him.

“Seeing it happen again four days later really shocked me,” Hoeneß told RTL, adding that he was at a loss for words when he subsequently received a call about the latest incident.

“I was speechless, which is rare for me.”

The 74-year-old went on to underline just how much the situation is affecting him.

“I go to bed thinking of him and wake up in the morning thinking of him,” Hoeneß revealed, making it clear that the entire club is behind the Germany star.

“There is unconditional support for Jamal,” he stressed.
