Bayern’s Musiala has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder following two incidents of collapsing on the field

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala announced on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder after experiencing a collapse during a match for the second time in four days.

The 23-year-old fell to the ground six minutes after entering the game as a substitute in Bayern’s 4-2 friendly victory against Heidenheim and needed medical assistance before being helped off the pitch.

The Germany international also collapsed during Bayern’s 3-1 friendly victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday. “I’ve been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absences caused by a neurological dysfunction,” Musiala posted on Instagram. “These can lead to episodes like the ones that occurred recently—such as against Leipzig or just now in Heidenheim.

I know these may seem intimidating at first, but they have become an integral part of my daily routine. I’m receiving excellent medical care for my condition and am very hopeful.

Musiala stated that doctors had determined there were no additional health risks.
The midfielder, who has made 231 appearances for Bayern, was sidelined for six months last season after fracturing an ankle at the Club Cup. However, he recovered to return later in the campaign and played for Germany at the 2026 World Cup.
