Musiala fainted twice on the field in 3 days, the truth worries Bayern fans

Jamal Musiala has raised worries at Bayern Munich as he collapsed twice on the field in just three days, prior to his own comments about his neural state.

Jamal Musiala has become a focal point of concern at Bayern Munich after collapsing twice on the field in just three days. The latest incident occurred in the final preseason friendly against Heidenheim, when the 23-year-old star came on in the second half and suddenly collapsed without any contact with an opponent.

According to BILD, Musiala was brought on in the 61st minute and only about four minutes later required medical attention. Players from both teams quickly formed a circle to shield him. After a few minutes, the Germany international was able to stand up and leave the field with the help of doctors.

This was the second worrying incident in a very short period. In the match against RB Leipzig last weekend, Musiala also collapsed about 15 minutes after coming on. BILD then reported that he was dizzy and had circulation problems in conditions of around 33 degrees Celsius.

After the match against Heidenheim, Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said: “Jamal will speak about this soon. We are aware and fully informed of the situation. He is in the changing room, getting changed and showering.”

Shortly after, Musiala directly explained on Instagram: “Most importantly, I am okay. I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary loss of consciousness that is treatable, originating from a neurological functional disorder. These episodes can lead to the situations that occurred against Leipzig and Heidenheim.”

The Bayern midfielder added: “The important thing is that there are no further health risks. After close consultation with experts and with clearance from neurologists, I want to continue living normally and pursuing my passion for football.” He stated that he is receiving the best medical care and wants this issue to remain within the circle of his family, the club, and the medical team.

Dr. Raj Chohan, founder of the Premier League Panel, believes that it is possible these are focal seizures that impair awareness due to temporary disruption of electrical activity in the temporal lobe. He wrote: “They can be controlled with lamotrigine, but the dosage must be gradually increased to the optimal level, so the patient may not have complete symptom control until that process is complete.”

For Bayern, the focus now will be on Musiala's health condition and how the medical staff manages his workload as the new season approaches.
