# Jamal Musiala injury and neurological diagnosis > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/jamal-musiala-injury-and-performance-concerns > Updated: 2026-08-26T08:41:06.000Z. Sources: 426. Developments: 7. Jamal Musiala has faced scrutiny regarding his form and physical durability. Former German players Lothar Matthäus and Bastian Schweinsteiger criticized the Bayern Munich player, suggesting he must move past his history of injuries to maintain his position in the squad. Matthäus specifically noted the impact of a severe leg injury sustained the previous summer. During a Telekom Cup friendly against RB Leipzig, Musiala experienced a medical incident after scoring Bayern’s third goal. In the 81st to 84th minute, the 23-year-old midfielder appeared to lose consciousness and struggled to remain upright. Initial reports attributed the collapse to heat exhaustion and circulation issues caused by temperatures exceeding 33 degrees Celsius. Sporting director Max Eberl reassured fans that Musiala is “fine.” Concerns intensified on August 18 during a friendly against Heidenheim when Musiala suffered a second fainting episode, losing his balance and collapsing on the pitch. Following these incidents, Musiala revealed via social media that he has been diagnosed with a “neurological dysfunction” specifically involving “brief, temporary – but treatable – absence seizures.” He reassured fans that the condition is manageable, there are no long-term health risks, and he is receiving excellent medical care. Club officials explained that the recent frequency of these episodes was linked to a change in his medication, noting they have been managing the condition internally since last season. Eberl clarified, “We’ve been dealing with this all of last season.” Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany confirmed that Musiala has returned to full team training, though he will miss the Bundesliga season opener against Stuttgart as the club adjusts his medication to stabilize his condition. Germany national team coach Jürgen Klopp has reportedly offered his full support, emphasizing that Musiala remains a central part of his plans for the national team. ## Claims - Bryan Gruda scored an equalizer for RB Leipzig.
