Hoeneß doubts Musiala will ever hit his old level again at Bayern
Bayern's honorary president Uli Hoeneß questions whether Jamal Musiala will ever regain his former level after more than a year of health problems.
Jamal Musiala has been fighting health problems for more than a year. Now comments from Uli Hoeneß, Bayern Munich's honorary president, are adding pressure on the Germany international.
Hoeneß questions whether Musiala will ever "regain the performance level he once had". That is a heavy verdict on a player who was one of Bayern's brightest talents.
Here's the background: in July 2025, Musiala fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in a collision with PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma in the Club World Cup quarter-final. It ruled him out for months.
Not everyone is so sceptical. TV expert Marcel Reif says he suffers with Musiala and hopes for a strong comeback.
Hoeneß also spoke about coach Vincent Kompany, who has been missing for weeks with meningeal irritation (inflammation of the brain's lining). He expects Kompany back "in two, three weeks".
