Medication change linked to Musiala's recent collapses during matches
Summary

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala collapsed twice within four days during pre-season friendlies against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim. Head coach Vincent Kompany indicated a slight adjustment in Musiala's medication caused temporary seizures related to a neurological dysfunction. While the club was aware of Musiala's condition prior to the World Cup, the team had not seen its impact on the field until now. Musiala is ruled out for the upcoming German Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund and will train individually this week as Bayern prepares for their Bundesliga title defense against Stuttgart.
