Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala says he has been diagnosed with a temporary neurological disorder after collapsing on the pitch. According to multiple reports, Musiala describes the issue as “absence” seizures that can be brief and treatable, following fainting episodes in successive games.
Musiala’s accounts are consistent across outlets: he says the condition relates to neurological dysfunction and that the episodes are not permanent. The reports also note that he experiences symptoms that can lead to sudden loss of responsiveness during play. Free Malaysia Today and Vanguard both refer to a “neurological disorder” after his second collapse in three days, while The Athletic (citing Musiala’s statement) specifies “temporary, brief, but easily treatable absence seizures.”
Outlets differ mainly in wording and emphasis—some summarize it broadly as a neurological disorder, while others focus on the seizure type and treatment manageability—rather than on any substantive disagreement about the diagnosis or timing.
