Aug 19 (Reuters) - Bayern ⁠Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala said on Tuesday he ⁠has been diagnosed with a neurological disorder ‌after collapsing during a match for the second time in four days.

The 23-year-old went down six minutes after coming off the ​bench in Bayern's 4-2 friendly win ⁠at Heidenheim and ⁠required medical attention before being assisted from the pitch.

The ⁠Germany international ‌also collapsed during Bayern's 3-1 friendly victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday.

"I've been ⁠diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absences ​caused by ‌a neurological dysfunction," Musiala posted on Instagram.

"These can ⁠lead to ​episodes like the ones that occurred recently - such as against Leipzig or just now in Heidenheim.

"I know these ⁠can seem scary at first ​glance - but for me, they're currently part of my everyday life. I'm receiving the best medical care for ⁠this and am very optimistic."

Musiala added that doctors had ruled out any further health risks.

The midfielder, who has made 231 appearances for Bayern, was sidelined for ​six months last season after ⁠fracturing an ankle at the Club Cup, but he ​recovered to return later in ‌the campaign and played for ​Germany at the 2026 World Cup.
