Jamal Musiala explains ‘treatable’ reason behind his two collapses during Bayern Munich matches

Jamal Musiala has opened up about his health issues after collapsing twice in four days.

The Bayern Munich star has the full backing from fans, who can’t wait to see him firing on all cylinders again.

Jamal Musiala discusses ‘neurological dysfunction’ diagnosis

On Saturday, Jamal Musiala fell to the floor during a pre-season clash between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.

While he’d have hoped that the incident wouldn’t occur again, on Tuesday, during his side’s fixture with Heidenheim, history repeated itself, just eight minutes after he’d come on as a substitute.

Luckily, after seeking medical advice, Musiala claims there are no long-term health risks.

He took to Instagram to give the football world an update on his situation, writing: “First things first, I am doing well. I am incredibly grateful for your messages and your support! I understand that many of you are worried. I would like to put those concerns to rest today and explain the situation.

“I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary – but treatable – absence seizures resulting from a neurological dysfunction. These can lead to the kind of incidents seen recently, such as during the match against Leipzig or the game in Heidenheim.

“I know they might look alarming at first glance, but for me, they are currently part of my everyday life. I am receiving excellent medical care and remain very optimistic. FC Bayern and my personal support network are right by my side, helping me through this. Importantly, there is no further health risk involved.

“In close consultation and regular contact with the experts, it was my personal wish to face this challenge; with the medical clearance of the neurologists, I want to continue doing what helps my recovery most: simply living my life and pursuing my passion for playing football.”
