Two collapses in four days - what's happening to Musiala?

Jamal Musiala suffered two collapses within four days, the latest occurring during Bayern Munich's pre-season friendly against Heidenheim. This marks the second incident in four days, similar to the one he experienced against RB Leipzig on Saturday. Musiala was accompanied by teammates, including England captain Harry Kane, who expressed his support for the player.

Musiala has been diagnosed with easily treatable absence seizures, a neurological dysfunction. These seizures are common among children and young adults, lasting only a few seconds and often appearing as if the person is daydreaming. Absence seizures are treatable with medication and should not hinder an athlete's ability to participate in sports.

Bayern Munich has confirmed that Musiala was cleared to play again by medical experts, providing written assurance that his condition would not pose a risk to his performance on the field. The club's honorary president, Uli Hoeness, emphasized that the decision to play Musiala again was made after thorough medical consultation. The team pledged their full support to Musiala during this challenging period.
