Overview
- The Bayern Munich midfielder suffered two unexplained on-field collapses in preseason friendlies, first during the match with RB Leipzig and then again on Tuesday against Heidenheim.
- Musiala posted that doctors have diagnosed brief, temporary 'absence' episodes caused by a neurological dysfunction and that he is receiving specialist treatment.
- He says neurologists have authorized him to keep training and playing while he is monitored, but the club has instituted intensified medical oversight.
- On both occasions teammates and Bayern medical staff attended immediately, Musiala regained consciousness and left the pitch walking under escort.
- The incidents have heightened concern at Bayern because of Musiala’s 2025 leg and ankle injuries, leaving his availability for the Supercopa on August 22 under medical review and closely watched for any longer-term effects.
