Bayern's Musiala diagnosed with neurological disorder after two on-field collapses

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala revealed Tuesday he has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder following two on-field collapses in quick succession. The 23-year-old German international experienced a second incident during Bayern's 4-2 friendly victory over Heidenheim, requiring medical attention before being helped off the pitch.

This latest episode occurred just four days after a similar collapse during Bayern's 3-1 friendly win against RB Leipzig. Musiala took to Instagram to address the situation, explaining the diagnosis.

“

I've been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absences caused by a neurological dysfunction. These can lead to episodes like the ones that occurred recently - such as against Leipzig or just now in Heidenheim.

"I've been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absences caused by a neurological dysfunction," Musiala posted. "These can lead to episodes like the ones that occurred recently - such as against Leipzig or just now in Heidenheim."

He sought to reassure fans and the public, adding, "I know these can seem scary at first glance - but for me, they're currently part of my everyday life. I'm receiving the best medical care for this and am very optimistic." Doctors have reportedly ruled out any further health risks for the midfielder, who has made 231 appearances for Bayern.
