Musiala Reassures Fans After Neurological Diagnosis

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has reassured fans about his health after revealing that he has been diagnosed with brief, temporary absence seizures linked to a neurological dysfunction.

Musiala made the disclosure on Tuesday through a statement on Instagram, following two recent incidents in which he collapsed during Bayern Munich pre-season matches.

The 23-year-old said he was doing well and thanked supporters for their messages and concern.

He explained that the episodes were behind the worrying moments witnessed during matches against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim.

Musiala said the condition was treatable and that he was receiving specialist medical care, with Bayern Munich and his close circle supporting him throughout the process.

He stressed that there was no additional health risk associated with the condition.

The Germany international said that, after regular consultations with specialists and receiving medical clearance from neurological experts, he had chosen to continue playing football.

He said remaining active and pursuing his passion for football were helping him through the recovery process.

Musiala also expressed optimism about his recovery, saying he felt positive and believed he was on the right path.

He urged supporters to respect his privacy and said he wanted further details about his condition to remain within his close circle, Bayern Munich and his medical experts.

The latest diagnosis followed his second on-field collapse in four days, after he went down shortly after coming on as a substitute during Bayern’s 4-2 friendly victory over Heidenheim.

He had previously collapsed during Bayern’s 3-1 friendly win over RB Leipzig.

Musiala missed a significant part of last season after suffering a serious ankle injury and fractured fibula at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite the latest health concerns, the midfielder remains determined to continue his football career after receiving clearance from specialists.
