Overview
- Jamal Musiala suffered two on-pitch collapses that have been diagnosed as brief absence seizures, with the first incident recorded on 15 August and a second three days later.
- Neurologists and Bayern medical staff link the episodes to a recent change in his medication and say the condition is treatable with specialist care.
- Bayern removed Musiala from team training before the Supercup and have withheld him from the Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart while he continues individual sessions under medical monitoring.
- Club doctors say the adjusted medication typically needs about 10–14 days to stabilise, making the earliest realistic return to a match the away trip to Schalke on 5 September if he progresses as expected.
- Musiala and Bayern say they are managing the issue privately and cautiously; he is physically fit to play but will be eased back into group work to minimise risk and protect his longer-term season recovery after last season’s serious ankle and fibula injury.
