Bayern’s Musiala reveals ‘neurological disorder’ after on-field collapse
Jamal Musiala says the disorder could cause 'temporary but treatable seizures' after his second on-field collapse in three days.
Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala disclosed on social media that he is grappling with a neurological disorder following two incidents of collapsing on the pitch in three days. The 23-year-old Germany international experienced a collapse during a pre-season friendly in Heidenheim on Tuesday, just minutes after coming on as a substitute.
A similar event occurred on Saturday during Bayern's home victory against RB Leipzig. During his recovery on Tuesday, Musiala appeared disoriented and required medical assistance before being helped off the field. He later announced that he has been diagnosed with brief, temporary episodes of absence caused by a neurological dysfunction, which can lead to seizures.
Despite the alarming nature of these incidents, Musiala remains optimistic, expressing gratitude for the support he has received. Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed that Musiala will provide further insights into the situation in the near future, noting that the club was aware of the issue and remains supportive. Earlier this year, Musiala missed the first six months of last season due to a broken ankle sustained during the Club World Cup.
Since his return, he has played for both Bayern Munich and the German national team at the 2026 World Cup.
