The 23-year-old disclosed a diagnosis of brief, treatable neurological episodes and says specialists have cleared monitored daily life and play.

Overview

  • Musiala suffered a second on-field collapse in pre-season friendlies on Tuesday when he went down after coming on against Heidenheim, repeating an episode from days earlier versus RB Leipzig.
  • Medical staff attended immediately on the pitch, Musiala regained consciousness, left the field with club medics and later posted that he is receiving specialist treatment.
  • In an Instagram statement he said doctors diagnosed short, easily treatable 'temporary absences' caused by a neurological dysfunction and that he feels optimistic about his recovery.
  • Club officials, including sporting director Max Eberl, said they were aware of the situation and that Musiala will address it publicly while Bayern’s medical team continues follow-up and monitoring.
  • The episodes raise fresh questions about his availability for Bayern’s upcoming Supercopa tie with Borussia Dortmund and follow a major lower‑leg injury in July 2025 that shaped his recent rehabilitation.
