Musiala collapses during match for second time in four-day period

Bayern Munich say Jamal Musiala will "speak out" after the Germany midfielder collapsed during a match for the second time in a four-day period.

On Tuesday, Musiala collapsed six minutes after coming off the bench in Bayern's 4-2 friendly victory at Heidenheim.

The 23-year-old appeared dazed as he received medical treatment and was helped off the pitch.

The incident occurred after he collapsed during Saturday's 3-1 friendly win over RB Leipzig in Munich.

"Jamal will speak about this in the near future. We knew about it and we are aware of the situation," Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said on Tuesday.

"Jamal will speak out. He's in the dressing room, getting changed and taking a shower."

Hot conditions were thought to have played a role in Musiala's collapse on Saturday, with the temperature in excess of 30C.

Musiala missed the first six months of last season after breaking his ankle at the 2025 Club World Cup, but returned in the second half of the campaign and started three of Germany's four games at the 2026 World Cup.
