The 2026/27 Bundesliga season kicks off on Friday night, with reigning champions Bayern Munich hosting VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena at 20:30 CEST.
Ahead of the game, it has been reported that Jamal Musiala will not be available for Bayern, with the German champions taking a cautious approach with the 23-year-old following two recent collapses caused by absence seizures linked to a neurological dysfunction.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany provided a positive update on Musiala on Friday, but confirmed that the Germany international will not be involved against Stuttgart.
"Basically, Jamal's doing pretty well. He'll take part in team training today. He won't be in the squad tomorrow. He's getting used to the increased dosage of medication. He will return to the squad at some point and we'll make the decision in close consultation with the experts. He's doing well," said Kompany.
Kompany also confirmed that 18-year-old Lennart Karl will return to the squad after recovering from the injury he picked up just before Germany's World Cup campaign.
