Although Musiala's recovery is progressing well, he will miss the opening match of the new Bundesliga season.

The 2026/27 Bundesliga season will kick off with the first round of matches, and defending champions Bayern Munich will host Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Manager Vincent Kompany stated that although Musiala's recovery is progressing well, he will not participate in the opening match of the new Bundesliga season.

During two friendly matches against Leipzig and Heidenheim in August, 23-year-old Musiala fainted twice. He later revealed on social media that he had been diagnosed with brief but easily treatable absence seizures caused by a neurological disorder.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said, "Overall, Musiala is in pretty good shape right now, and he has also participated in training camp. But he will not be included in tomorrow's match squad, as he is gradually adjusting to the increased dosage of his medication."

"He will be back on the roster and play at some point, and we will make a decision after consulting with experts, but his current situation is very good."

Kompany also stated, "Lennard Carr will return, but we still need to see how much of an impact he can have. Ismail Sebarri is progressing very well, and we'll see if he starts this time. We have many games in the next few weeks, so we'll make a decision after training."

In the earlier German Super Cup, Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 with goals from Nathaniel Brown and Olise, successfully starting a new journey with a championship.

In addition to continuing to compete for the Bundesliga title, Kompany has repeatedly emphasized that Bayern Munich will also focus on the Champions League in the new season.

Kompany said, "This time it feels exactly the same as the first time. I always believe we can eventually succeed. But we can never be 100% sure about the final result. This uncertainty also brings motivation, and everything has to start from scratch."

“In my mind, I don’t have a single championship right now, and I have to prove everything again. This thought has given me a lot of motivation. The game against Stuttgart will be difficult. It’s a brand new season, which also means new opportunities, and that will make us more focused in our preparations.”

In addition, Kompany said, "Predicting the final standings is not my job, but I hope we can be as strong as last season and even better in some aspects."

“We’ve already seen a very strong Dortmund, and we’ll see how Stuttgart performs tomorrow. I think Dortmund will be very consistent, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Stuttgart can do the same.”
