Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala said he is suffering from a neurological disorder after a second on-field collapse in three days.
The 23-year-old Germany international fell to the turf just minutes after coming on late in a pre-season friendly at Heidenheim. A similar incident took place on Saturday in Bayern’s home win over RB Leipzig.
On Tuesday in Heidenheim, Musiala appeared dazed as he received medical treatment and was helped off the pitch.
Musiala later revealed on social media that he had a disorder which could lead to “temporary but treatable seizures”.
“I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary episodes of absence that are easily treatable and are caused by a neurological dysfunction,” Musiala said.
“These can lead to the moments that have occurred recently, such as against Leipzig and now in Heidenheim.
“I know that they may seem scary at first glance - but for me, they are currently simply part of my everyday life.”
