Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has revealed he has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder after collapsing during a match for the second time in four days.
The 23-year-old went down six minutes after coming off the bench in Bayern’s 4-2 friendly win at Heidenheim on Tuesday. He required medical attention before being assisted from the pitch.
Musiala had also collapsed during Bayern’s 3-1 friendly victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday.
In a statement on Instagram, the Germany international said doctors had diagnosed him with temporary episodes linked to a neurological dysfunction.
“I’ve been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absences caused by a neurological dysfunction,” Musiala said.
“These can lead to episodes like the ones that occurred recently – such as against Leipzig or just now in Heidenheim.
“I know these can seem scary at first glance – but for me, they’re currently part of my everyday life. I’m receiving the best medical care for this and am very optimistic.”
Musiala added that doctors had ruled out any further health risks.
The midfielder has made 231 appearances for Bayern Munich and was sidelined for six months last season after fracturing an ankle at the Club World Cup.
He later returned to action and represented Germany at the 2026 World Cup.
