Musiala later shared on Instagram that he had been diagnosed with short, temporary absence seizures due to a neurological disorder, which is treatable.

Club president Herbert Hainer commented on Musiala's potential, expressing hope that he can return to his pre-injury form. He stated, "I think the whole country hopes that Jamal reaches the level he was at before his serious injury at the Club World Cup... He was on his way to becoming one of the best players in the world."
Despite ongoing concerns regarding his health, Hainer reassured fans, citing medical evaluations that affirm Musiala's ability to perform at the highest level. He noted that Musiala had shown promising form before the latest injury, emphasizing that the team is not worried about his future. However, Hainer acknowledged that patience is required as Musiala’s return may still take some time.
