After Jamal Musiala collapsed twice within a few days during FC Bayern friendlies, the 23-year-old has now provided an explanation for the frightening moments. On Instagram, the Bayern star posted a detailed statement on Tuesday evening after the Heidenheim friendly.
The full statement
“First of all – I’m doing well! More than anything, I’m incredibly grateful for all your messages and your support! I understand that many of you are worried. Today I want to put those concerns to rest and explain a little more: I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary absences that are easily treatable and caused by a neurological functional disorder. These can lead to the moments that have occurred recently, like against Leipzig and now in Heidenheim. I know that at first glance they may seem frightening – but for me, they are currently simply part of my everyday life. In this regard, I am receiving the best possible medical care, and I am very optimistic. FC Bayern and the people closest to me are always by my side and supporting me on this journey.
What’s important is that there are no additional health risks beyond that. In close coordination and regular communication with the specialists, it was my personal wish to face this challenge and – with the neurologists’ approval – continue doing what helps me most in my recovery: simply living my everyday life and continuing to pursue my passion, playing football. I have taken responsibility for this decision. Overall, I feel very good and I’m on the right path. What helps me most on this journey is continuing to chase victories and titles with my team, with your incredible support. I hope this helps you understand me better. At the same time, I ask for your understanding that I would like to continue keeping this matter within my closest circle, the club, and the experts.”
