Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala experienced a second sudden collapse during a friendly match against Heidenheim on Tuesday, just three days after a similar incident during a game against Leipzig. The repeated episodes have intensified worries surrounding the 23-year-old German international.
Hours after the latest incident, Musiala addressed the concerns in a social media message, revealing his diagnosis. "I have been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but treatable absences due to a neurological dysfunction," he explained. He noted that these episodes can cause the collapses he recently experienced.
Musiala sought to reassure fans and the public, stating, "The most important thing first: I am fine! I am especially grateful for your messages and your support." He acknowledged that the incidents might appear frightening but assured that they are now a manageable part of his daily life. "I am under the best possible medical treatment and am very optimistic," he added.
The player confirmed that he has the full backing of Bayern Munich and his personal circle. "Bayern Munich and my private environment are always by my side and support me on this path," he stated. Musiala emphasized that his decision to continue playing, in coordination with specialists, carries no additional health risks. He had entered the match against Heidenheim as a substitute and, after an impressive play, began to falter and fall without any opponent contact, requiring medical attention before leaving the field.
