Jamal Musiala, a German international footballer, has been experiencing collapses during matches, causing concern in the football world. The incidents occurred during Bayern Munich's pre-season match against Heidenheim and a previous game against RB Leipzig. Musiala revealed that these collapses are linked to absence seizures, a neurological condition caused by a dysfunction.

These seizures can last a few seconds and are generally less dramatic than the shaking associated with other types of seizures. In Musiala's case, the collapses happened while he was playing football, which made them particularly alarming.

Musiala remains committed to continuing his football career with medical guidance. This disclosure has shed light on a neurological condition that can sometimes be difficult to recognise.
