  "account": "Jamal Musiala, the Bayern Munich midfielder, is currently undergoing treatment for a neurological dysfunction following a collapse during a match for the second time in a four-day span. On Tuesday, the 23-year-old fell six minutes after coming on as a substitute in Bayern's 4-2 friendly win against Heidenheim. Musiala appeared dazed as he received medical attention and was assisted off the field. This incident followed a similar collapse during Bayern's 3-1 friendly against RB Leipzig on Saturday.\n\nMusiala addressed the situation in an Instagram post, revealing he has been diagnosed with temporary, brief but easily treatable absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction. He emphasized that these episodes, including the recent ones, are part of his everyday life and are being treated with excellent medical care. Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed that they were aware of the player's condition and stated that Jamal would provide further updates after the game.",
