Bayern Munich's Ismael Saibari managed to catch teammate Jamal Musiala as he appeared to collapse during a game against RB Leipzig -Credit:Alex Grimm, Getty Images Bayern Munich executive Max Eberl has confirmed that Jamal Musiala is recovering well following a frightening collapse on Saturday. The German international was at the center of alarming scenes during Bayern's Telekom Cup clash with RB Leipzig when he fell to the ground in the closing stages of the 3-1 victory. Reports indicate that the sweltering heat in Bavaria was a contributing factor in the distressing moment for the 23-year-old, who was able to walk off the field following treatment. The incident unfolded in the final stages of the match, when Musiala began to stagger with no opposing players near him. Ismael Saibari was among the first players to reach him before his Bayern teammates and medical personnel rushed to Musiala's aid. BILD reported that the midfielder suffered dizziness while competing in temperatures of around 33 degrees, resulting in circulation issues.

There's nothing more to say about anything else." The German outlet also noted that Musiala is still working to recapture his previous form and physical condition following the serious leg injury he sustained during last summer's Club World Cup. Last season, the Bayern star battled ankle issues as the German powerhouse stormed to yet another league title and bowed out at the UEFA Champions League semi-final stage. A metal plate was removed from his foot following Germany's disappointing FIFA World Cup exit, causing him to miss the club's preseason tour in Asia. To listen to the latest episode of 'All Out Soccer' - CLICK HERE Having completed his personal rehabilitation program, Musiala returned to the squad on Monday, only to suffer an immediate setback in his first appearance back. Vincent Kompany brought Musiala on during the dying moments of the friendly against Leipzig, but just 15 minutes into his comeback, he suffered the alarming collapse. Manuel Neuer said: "It will become clear what it was. But of course we are keeping our fingers crossed." England forward Harry Kane and Michael Olise were among those watching from the stands, having been granted additional recovery time following their World Cup commitments. Bayern are set to face Heidenheim in their next preseason fixture as part of their preparations for the upcoming campaign, before their German Super Cup opener against Borussia Dortmund on August 22.
