Jamal Musiala, the attacking midfielder for Munich's Bayern, has been named in the team's squad for the first time since the start of the season — for the Bundesliga Round 2 match against Schalke. For the 23-year-old midfielder, this is a landmark return following a series of health problems that forced him to miss the opening matches of the championship. ### Return After Losing Consciousness In August, Musiala lost consciousness twice during friendly matches. The player himself attributed these episodes to side effects following a change in his neurological medication. According to the latest reports, the player's condition has stabilized, and the club's medical staff have given him clearance to take part in official matches, which was confirmed by his inclusion in the squad for the game against Schalke. ### Missed Opening Matches Due to his condition, the midfielder was unable to take the field in the first two matches of the season: the Super Cup win against Borussia Dortmund and the crushing victory over Stuttgart in Round 1 of the championship. As a result, the match against Schalke will be his first official game of the current season. ### Last Season's Statistics Last season, Musiala was recovering from a serious injury and rebuilding his fitness. In total, he made 24 appearances for Bayern across all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists. These figures reflect the player's gradual return to his usual level after the injury. ### The Schalke Derby: A History of Rivalry The match against Schalke will be the first for both teams since May 2023, when the Munich side recorded a crushing 6-0 victory. The rivalry between the two clubs dates back to the 1930s, and since the formation of the unified Bundesliga, the Munich side has predominantly dominated this fixture. Matches between Bayern and Schalke are traditionally considered among the most important in German football, which adds an extra layer of intrigue to Musiala's return to the squad. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Star's Return: Bayern Name Troubled Winger in Squad for Schalke Match](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/povernennya-zirki-bavariya-vklyuchila-zayavki-1788618994.html) - Первичный источник: включение Мусиала в заявку на 2-й тур, пропуск Суперкубка и 1-го тура, две потери сознания в августе, статистика прошлого сезона (24 матча, 5 голов, 6 передач), история противостояния с «Шальке» (6:0 в мае 2023). - [Musiala Speaks About the Cause of Losing Consciousness in Bayern Matches](https://www.sport-express.ru/football/germany/news/dzhamal-musiala-rasskazal-o-prichine-poteri-soznaniya-v-matchah-bavarii-2448257/) - Подтверждает объяснение игрока о причине потери сознания (побочные эффекты после смены неврологических препаратов). - [Bayern vs Schalke: Team Statistics](https://www.sports.ru/football/match/1958984/stat/) - Контекст по противостоянию и статистике команд «Бавария» — «Шальке». - ["Right Now It's Part of My Life."
