Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has revealed he is undergoing treatment for “neurological dysfunction” after collapsing during the match for the second time in four days.
Musiala first collapsed during an exhibition match against RB Leipzig on Saturday, and then again shortly after entering Tuesday’s exhibition match at Heidenheim as a second-half substitute.
Musiala stated in his Instagram post that there is no major health risk involved and added that with medical clearance from neurologists, he is confident he can continue pursuing his passion for football.
“I’ve been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absence seizures, which are due to a neurological dysfunction,” he explained.
“These can lead to the recent episodes, like the one against Leipzig or now in Heidenheim. I know they seem scary at first glance – but for me, they’re currently just part of my everyday life.
“I’m receiving excellent medical treatment and am very optimistic. FC Bayern and my family and friends are always by my side and supporting me on this journey.”

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl also reported that the club was aware of Musiala’s condition.
“We knew about it and we are aware of the situation,” Eberl said.
“Jamal will speak out. He’s in the dressing room, getting changed and taking a shower.”
Unfortunately, Musiala also broke his left leg last summer during Bayern’s match against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, and returned to the Bundesliga in 2026 after six months.
Musiala also started three of Germany’s four games at the 2026 World Cup this summer.
