Jamal Musiala treated for 'neurological dysfunction' after collapsing during match for second time

Bayern Munich footballer Jamal Musiala is currently undergoing treatment for a "neurological dysfunction" following two incidents of collapsing during matches in just four days. The 23-year-old midfielder was substituted on Tuesday and collapsed six minutes into Bayern's 4-2 friendly win against Heidenheim. This was just days after he fainted during Saturday's 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig.

Musiala has since reassured fans that he has been diagnosed with "temporary, brief, but easily treatable absence seizures", which have caused the recent episodes. He is currently receiving top-notch medical treatment and remains optimistic about his recovery. The club and his family are fully supporting him through this challenging time.
