Jamal Musiala explains the reasons behind his fainting spells during matches

Jamal Musiala, the 23-year-old talent at Bayern Munich, has disclosed the reason behind his recent on-field collapses: a neurological issue causing brief absence episodes. The player experienced a second incident during a recent preparation match against Heidenheim, just three days after a similar event against Leipzig.

At first glance it may seem distressing, but it is something that is now part of my daily life. It is important to specify that it does not carry supplementary health risks. I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary, and easily treatable absence episodes caused by a neurological dysfunction.

Musiala, who was substituted into the game in the 61st minute, fell to the ground five minutes later and immediately received medical attention. He addressed the situation via social media, explaining that while it may appear distressing, it has become a part of his daily life. "It is important to specify that it does not carry supplementary health risks. I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary, and easily treatable absence episodes caused by a neurological dysfunction," he stated.

Despite this diagnosis, Musiala expressed a strong personal desire to continue pursuing his passion for football, viewing it as integral to his well-being and recovery. "My personal desire is to continue with what most helps healing: living day by day and continuing with the passion for football," he shared.
