  "account": "Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany explained that Jamal Musiala's recent collapses on the field were due to a change in his treatment for a neurological condition. The 23-year-old German midfielder went down during two consecutive friendly matches, collapsing six minutes after coming off the bench and again during Bayern's 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig. Musiala revealed in a recent interview that he was diagnosed with the disorder, and the episodes were now part of his daily life. Speaking ahead of Bayern's German Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund, Kompany reassured fans that there was no cause for alarm regarding Musiala's health. He noted that the change in treatment had some side effects, which were expected during the course of treatment. Musiala will sit out the upcoming match to adjust to his condition being made public, but he will still receive the club's full support. Kompany praised the player for his progress, stating that he had made significant strides and was ready to deliver results.",
