Jamal Musiala dealing with neurological issue after collapsing in friendly
Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala said he's dealing with a neurological issue but doing well despite collapsing during a preseason game Tuesday at Heidenheim, three days after a similar incident against Leipzig.
The 23-year-old Germany international went down shortly after entering Tuesday's friendly as a substitute in the second half.
Players from both teams made a circle around Musiala as he received medical treatment.
He was then helped as he walked off the pitch.
Musiala had collapsed Saturday during a friendly against Leipzig.
German news agency DPA reported he had left the field on his own but still appeared dazed.
After Tuesday's game, Musiala posted a message on his Instagram account, explaining that he had been diagnosed with temporary "but easily treatable absence seizures" caused by a neurological problem.
"These can lead to the moments that happened recently, such as against Leipzig or even now in Heidenheim," Musiala wrote.
