Germany head coach Jurgen Klopp has spoken about the situation involving Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala, revealing: “I sent him a message”.
Musiala, 23, recently lost consciousness during two consecutive friendly matches. The incidents have been followed by his absence from the squad for two competitive fixtures involving Bayern Munich.
He was not included for the Supercup meeting with Borussia Dortmund and was again left out of the squad for the Bundesliga match against VfB Stuttgart.
Klopp’s comments come after the latest developments surrounding one of Bayern Munich’s leading attacking players. The Germany coach did not provide further details about the message he sent Musiala, but confirmed that he had contacted the midfielder directly.
Musiala’s recent appearances in friendly matches were interrupted when he lost consciousness in each of two successive games. He was then unavailable for Bayern Munich’s next official fixtures, first against Borussia Dortmund in the Supercup and subsequently against VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
The contrast between the matches is significant in terms of selection: Musiala featured in the two friendlies before missing out entirely from the matchday squads for the competitive games.
Klopp became Germany head coach after the 2026 World Cup, replacing Julian Nagelsmann. His remarks therefore carry particular relevance for Musiala’s international future, although no further information about the player’s condition or his return has been provided.
The Germany coach’s intervention places the focus on the communication between the national-team manager and Musiala while the Bayern Munich player deals with the issue that has kept him out of the club’s recent official matches.
No explanation has been given in the available information for the two incidents in which Musiala lost consciousness, nor has a date been stated for his return to competitive action. His absence from Bayern Munich’s squads for the Supercup against Borussia Dortmund and the Bundesliga fixture with VfB Stuttgart remains the latest confirmed development.
Musiala is described as an attacking midfielder for Bayern Munich and is also part of the Germany set-up under Klopp. The coach’s decision to make public that he had sent the player a message offers an indication that he has been in contact with him, while leaving the precise nature of their exchange undisclosed.
For now, the confirmed sequence is that Musiala lost consciousness in two consecutive friendly matches, was then omitted from Bayern Munich’s squads for matches against Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, and has received a message from Klopp. The Germany head coach has shared his view on the situation but has not released any additional medical or sporting details.
