Musiala Withdrawn From Bayern Opener After Medication Readjustment for Absence Seizures

Expectations that a higher drug dose will restore seizure control have led Bayern to prioritise his medical stability over immediate selection.

Overview

  • Musiala suffered two brief collapse episodes in mid‑August during friendlies, events he later confirmed were absence seizures.
  • Club doctors linked the incidents to a recent reduction in his anti‑seizure medication and have increased his dose to regain control.
  • He has been training individually while medical staff monitor him and plan a gradual return to group work once stable.
  • Bayern have excluded Musiala from the Supercup and the Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart and say the earliest plausible return is around Sept. 5 if the new dose takes effect.
  • Bayern officials and Musiala stress he is physically fit to play, the club coordinated the public disclosure, and national coach Jürgen Klopp has offered personal support.
