  "account": "Munich's Jamal Musiala has disclosed a neurological condition, marking a second occurrence of a similar incident, following a collapse during a preseason match in Heidenheim on Tuesday. This incident followed a comparable collapse against Leipzig just three days earlier. The 23-year-old German international appeared dazed after entering the friendly as a substitute in the second half and required medical attention before being assisted off the field. Initially, Bayern Munich's report on Tuesday’s game only noted a setback, attributing it to a knock minutes after Musiala's substitution. Subsequently, Musiala took to Instagram to reveal he has been experiencing \"treatable absence seizures\" due to a neurological problem, expressing optimism about his current medical treatment.",
