​Germany boss confident Musiala will return to his best despite Hoeneß doubtsGermany sporting director Rudi Völler has backed Jamal Musiala to return to top form following a series of setbacks for the Bayern Munich midfielder in recent years.Musiala missed the start of the season after suffering on-field collapses linked to a neurological condition. Upon his return, he then sustained a muscle fibre tear that has kept him sidelined for more than a month.Nevertheless, Völler has no doubts that the 23-year-old will bounce back and rediscover his best form.”Based on the information I have, I am convinced that he will come back as strong as he was before the injury. There is no reason to be sceptical about that. I am absolutely convinced that we will see Jamal Musiala in outstanding form at many, many tournaments – he is still very young, after all,” Völler said on DAZN’s “Never Talk Alone” programme.This season’s concerns follow a horrific fibula fracture Musiala suffered after colliding with Gianluigi Donnarumma during Bayern Munich’s Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2025. The injury kept him out of action for several months.”Unfortunately, he was also unlucky back then with Donnarumma, when he suffered a serious ankle injury and had to undergo surgery. It really was a very, very serious injury. He needs some time to get back to where he was. And if he can avoid further problems like that, I am completely optimistic that he will be able to produce top-level performances again,” Völler said.Regarding Musiala’s neurological condition, Völler said he would be more concerned about recurring muscle injuries.“It’s not something you see every day in professional sport, but I actually thought it was a good thing that it became public and that it’s being handled sensibly,” he said.Bayern supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß recently described Musiala’s situation as a dilemma for the club, raising doubts over whether the midfielder will ever return to his previous level.”Just imagine if Bayern Munich were now to question his contract and say: What he is capable of delivering now is no longer what is stipulated in the contract,” Hoeneß told BR.Völler, however, doesn’t think too much should be read into Hoeneß’s comments.“I don’t see it as that dramatic. These are just things – we all know Uli. Perhaps he also likes to provoke people a little in his own way. But he never really means any harm. That has always been one of his great strengths, even over all these decades: he goes out of his way to protect his own players and support them,” he said.”With one player, he might be particularly complimentary; with another, he might be a little more critical. But fundamentally, he loves them all.”
