拜仁称穆西亚拉长期存在神经系统问题，治疗调整导致其两次倒地
拜仁慕尼黑表示，贾马尔·穆西亚拉的神经系统问题俱乐部至少在一年前就已知晓。随着他在过去一周连续两场比赛中倒地，这一情况才被公开并引发德国足坛关注。
俱乐部官员称，这些情况与穆西亚拉接受的治疗调整有关。体育董事埃贝尔表示，拜仁上赛季就一直在处理这一问题，如今正在帮助这名球员应对相关情况。
穆西亚拉在最近一次倒地后通过Instagram表示，自己被诊断为由神经功能障碍引发的失神性癫痫，并称没有额外健康风险，仍打算继续踢球。
主教练孔帕尼说，穆西亚拉将缺席周六对阵多特蒙德的德国超级杯，原因是围绕他情况的额外关注。孔帕尼还表示，在治疗调整出现副作用后，拜仁希望恢复到此前的治疗方式。
