Bayern Munich executive Max Eberl has said a concrete update will be released in due course after Jamal Musiala collapsed mid-match for the second time this week.
Bayern faced Heidenheim in their final pre-season fixture of the summer on Tuesday, with Musiala coming off the bench in the 60th minute. He was withdrawn again having played just nine minutes, though, after appearing to collapse on the pitch.
Players from both teams formed a guard around Musiala as he received treatment. He was subsequently helped off the pitch by medics.
Second collapse in days
It comes just days after Musiala, 23, collapsed during another friendly against RB Leipzig. Video from the match shows him looking disoriented on the pitch and starting to fall before he was caught and lowered to the turf by Ismael Saibari. He was then taken off the pitch, but promptly returned to training.
Speaking after that match, Eberl simply said: "The most important thing is that (Musiala) is well. There's nothing more to say about anything else."
Eberl's update
Eberl has now given a slightly more detailed update, though, saying Bayern are aware of a condition affecting Musiala and that the player himself will issue an update in due course. Speaking via Bild, Eberl said: "Jamal will speak about this in the near future. We knew about it and we are aware of the situation. Jamal will speak out. He’s in the dressing room, getting changed and taking a shower."
This issue is the latest in a litany of fitness woes to have impacted Musiala in recent years. The most notable of these came as the former Chelsea academy starlet suffered a broken ankle at the Club World Cup in the summer of 2025, which kept him sidelined for several months, though he recovered in time to feature for Germany at the World Cup.
