Bayern Munich's German international Jamal Musiala suffered another temporary loss of consciousness during a friendly match against Heidenheim, just three days after experiencing a similar episode against Leipzig. While the player was able to leave the field under his own power on both occasions, the recurring incidents are causing concern within the club.

You will all know everything, Jamal will report. We know what's happening. Now Jamal is in the locker room and showering.

Musiala was only on the field for six minutes against Heidenheim after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute before he had to be taken off. Club doctors attended to him for several minutes before he stood up and walked off the pitch.

Following the match, Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl commented, "You will all know everything, Jamal will report. We know what's happening. Now Jamal is in the locker room and showering." Earlier in the week, Musiala had been absent from the team's presentation after training alone.

The most important thing is that I am fine.

Musiala himself addressed the situation on Instagram, reassuring fans. "The most important thing is that I am fine," he wrote. "I understand that many are worried and I want to take away your worry and explain something. Brief temporary losses of consciousness have been diagnosed, which are easily treatable and stem from a neurological dysfunction. This can lead to situations like the matches against Leipzig and Heidenheim."
