🏥 Musiala has now collapsed twice in four days
Jamal Musiala, a key player for Bayern Munich and Germany, lost consciousness on the pitch for the second time in four days on Tuesday — six minutes after coming on as a substitute in Bayern's 4-2 friendly win at Heidenheim. The same had happened on Saturday against RB Leipzig.
Sporting director Max Eberl confirmed Bayern knew about the situation beforehand: "We are aware of it. Jamal will speak out soon." Heat above 30°C was flagged after Saturday's incident — but Tuesday's repeat doesn't fit that explanation as neatly.
Musiala missed six months last season with an ankle fracture from the 2025 Club World Cup, then returned to start three of Germany's four games at the 2026 World Cup. Two collapses in four days point to something that needs a clearer answer, per BBC Sport — which Musiala is expected to provide shortly.
