Jamal Musiala Gives Health Update After Bayern Munich Incidents
Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala has provided a health update after two recent on-field incidents, revealing a diagnosis of a temporary neurological dysfunction.
The Germany international collapsed during Bayern’s friendly against RB Leipzig on Saturday and was later named in Vincent Kompany’s squad for the final pre-season match against Heidenheim on Tuesday. However, he was forced off again shortly after coming on as a second-half substitute, leaving the pitch with Bayern’s medical staff.

Musiala addressed the situation on Instagram, saying he is doing well and thanking fans for their support. He explained that he has been diagnosed with brief, temporary absences linked to a neurological dysfunction, which he believes caused the episodes in both recent matches.
“I understand that many of you are worried. Today, I’d like to put your minds at ease and explain the situation a little,” he said, adding that he is currently receiving treatment and managing the condition in daily life.
Musiala remains optimistic about recovery
The 23-year-old said he continues to receive strong support from Bayern Munich and those close to him, and stressed that there is no additional health risk beyond his diagnosis.
After consulting specialists, Musiala chose to continue playing, saying football is an important part of his recovery and routine. “I have taken responsibility for that decision. Overall, I have a very good feeling and I’m on the right track,” he said.

“I hope this helps you understand me a little better,” he said. “At the same time, I ask for your understanding that I would like to continue keeping this matter within the circle of my closest confidants, the club and the experts.”
When will Musiala play for Bayern again?
