German neurologist clarifies Jamal Musiala's condition after two fainting spells
A German neurologist says Jamal Musiala suffered a treatable fainting episode that does not threaten his Bayern Munich career.
German neurologist Christoph Kleinschnitz has clarified that Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Jamal Musiala suffered a treatable fainting episode, which does not jeopardize his football career. The player experienced two fainting spells during pre-season friendlies against Leipzig and Heidenheim, with the second collapse occurring just three days after the first.
Kleinschnitz, head of neurology at Essen University Hospital, explained that Musiala's brief periods of unresponsiveness were consistent with fainting spells and are not life-threatening. Despite the alarming nature of the incidents, Kleinschnitz assured that the condition is treatable, allowing Musiala to continue playing football without complications.
Bayern Munich is optimistic about Musiala's recovery and aims to have him fully fit for the upcoming season. Following a severe injury sustained against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the midfielder missed a significant portion of the 2025-2026 campaign due to a fibula fracture, a dislocated ankle, and a broken ankle.
Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed that the club has been closely monitoring Musiala's medical situation.
