Jamal Musiala’s readiness for Bayern Munich’s start to the season is in question after collapsing in consecutive warmup games because of a neurological issue. The 23-year-old Germany star went down shortly after entering the field in a friendly against Heidenheim on Tuesday, three days after a similar incident against Leipzig. Musiala said in an Instagram post late Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with “brief, temporary, but easily treatable absence seizures caused by a neurological dysfunction” and that they can lead to the moments that occurred against Heidenheim and Leipzig.

Vincent Kompany has revealed that a minor change to Jamal Musiala’s treatment was behind the Bayern Munich star collapsing twice during recent friendly matches. Musiala has been receiving treatment for a ‘neurological disorder’, with the 23-year-old previously describing the episodes as temporary, short and treatable.

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala said he is suffering from a neurological disorder after a second on-field collapse in three days on Tuesday. Musiala later revealed on social media that he had a disorder which could lead to "temporary but treatable seizures".
