This is now becoming genuinely worrying: just three days after collapsing during the match against RB Leipzig, Jamal Musiala, was taken ill again during Bayern Munich’s game against Heidenheim. He ended up on the pitch, causing shock among the players on the field as well as the fans in the stands.Musiala had lost consciousness late in the match against Leipzig in Munich, with the game in its 85th minute. At the time, it was explained that the likely cause was the extremely difficult weather conditions, with high temperatures and humidity.Horrific scenes – Musiala collapsed, Saibari prevented something worseHowever, none of those factors can be cited as an explanation this time. The young star only came onto the pitch in the 61st minute, and just four minutes later he was already down on the grass. He was neither exhausted nor dealing with the intense heat that had affected him against Leipzig on Saturday.Although he was back on his feet just three minutes later and walked off the pitch, he looked visibly dazed. Taken together, all of this has certainly set alarm bells ringing within Bayern’s medical team and could even raise questions about Musiala’s involvement in the season ahead.The moment Jamal Musiala fainted again on the pitch in the middle of the game 😥 pic.twitter.com/zckuwh32Bz— Pulse Sports Nigeria (@PulseSportsNG) August 18, 2026 t>We should not jump to conclusions about his future just yet, but there is no denying that the situation is concerning. That was also the tone of Max Eberl’s first comments after what happened yesterday: “Jamal will speak about this in the near future. We knew about it and we are aware of the situation. Jamal will speak out.”It is worth remembering that after the match against RB Leipzig, Bayern insisted that “it was nothing serious” and announced that the Germany international would undergo detailed medical examinations. There were also reports that, regardless of the results, he would be given several weeks off. Yesterday against Heidenheim, he did not start the match but was still given a chance from the bench. Clearly, it might have been better if he had not played.##EDITORS_CHOICE##However, the player himself eventually addressed the situation, explaining exactly what had happened:“First things first – I’m doing well! I’m especially grateful for your messages and support!” he wrote on Instagram. "I understand that many of you are worried. I’d like to alleviate those concerns today and explain something: I’ve been diagnosed with temporary, brief, but easily treatable absence seizures, which are due to a neurological dysfunction. These can lead to the recent episodes, like the one against Leipzig or now in Heidenheim. I know they seem scary at first glance – but for me, they’re currently just part of my everyday life. Importantly, there are no further health risks. In close consultation and regular communication with the experts, it was my personal wish to face this challenge and, with the clearance from the neurologists, to continue focusing on what helps me most in my recovery: simply living my daily life and pursuing my passion for playing football,” the young footballer explained.🚨💬 Jamal Musiala on his health situation:“I have been diagnosed with temporary, brief absences that are caused by a neurological dysfunction.

At the same time, I ask for your understanding that I would like to keep this matter within my closest circle of confidants, the club, and the experts. Thank you so much, J.”##NAJAVA_MECA_9902119##
