Musiala pulled from Germany XI; Klopp says injury was unrelated to his condition

Jamal Musiala was withdrawn from Germany’s XI before facing the Netherlands after a reported thigh problem in warm-ups. Jürgen Klopp said it was a “football injury,” unrelated to Musiala’s neurological condition. A scan is pending, and Musiala will likely miss the rest of the ’s.

Musiala had been expected to feature in Klopp’s first Germany lineup. His neurological condition became public this summer after on-field absence episodes in two Bayern preseason matches, prompting speculation that the withdrawal was related.
