Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala collapses on pitch again
One of Germany's top footballers has collapsed on the pitch for a second time in four days ahead of the new season. Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala has a "neurological dysfunction" that causes blackouts.
Germany international Jamal Musiala suffered another collapse during a match for the second time in four days on Tuesday. He was substituted during Bayern Munich's 4-2 friendly win against Heidenheim and collapsed just six minutes later. Musiala had a similar incident a few days earlier in a match against RB Leipzig. He explained in an Instagram post that the blackouts were caused by epilepsy, known as absence seizures.
"I've been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absence seizures, which are due to a neurological dysfunction," he wrote. The seizures can lead to the recent episodes, both of which were described as one-off occurrences. Musiala is currently receiving medical treatment and remains optimistic about his recovery. FC Bayern and his family and friends are supporting him through this challenging time.
