Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala experienced a second collapse during a preseason match in the span of four days, prompting widespread concern from supporters. The 23-year-old fell to the pitch during Bayern’s 4-2 friendly victory over Heidenheim on Tuesday, just three days after a similar incident occurred in a 3-1 win against RB Leipzig.
Following the second episode, Musiala addressed fans through social media to explain his condition. The player revealed he has been diagnosed with absence seizures stemming from a neurological dysfunction that is treatable. He emphasized that while these episodes may appear alarming to observers, he is receiving comprehensive medical support and maintaining an optimistic outlook regarding his recovery.
The health concerns come during a challenging period for Musiala, who has struggled with injuries and fitness issues over the past year. A serious leg fracture sustained in July 2025 has plagued his performance since, with the player unable to return to previous form. His recent neurological diagnosis adds another obstacle to his comeback efforts as Bayern and Germany supporters hope for his swift recovery.
Teammates showed their solidarity with the midfielder, with captain Manuel Neuer and defender Dayot Upamecano publicly expressing support through social media reactions to Musiala’s health update.
