You may have heard that Bayern Munich playmaker Jamal Musiala collapsed on the pitch again. The ugly incident happened for the second time in three days, and many pundits across the world of the beautiful game have weighed in with their opinions.

In response to the comments, the German wonderkid has released a statement to calm nerves and explain his current situation.

"First things first—I'm doing well! Above all, I’m incredibly grateful for all your messages and your support! I understand that many of you are worried. I want to address those concerns today and provide further clarification: I have been diagnosed with brief, temporary episodes of absence caused by a neurological dysfunction, which are easily treatable. These episodes can lead to the recent moments I experienced, such as during the matches against Leipzig and Heidenheim. I know that they may seem scary at first glance, but for me, they are currently simply part of my everyday life. I am receiving the best possible medical care in this regard, 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 is important is that there is no additional health risk beyond this condition. In close consultation and regular communication with the specialists, it was my personal wish to face this challenge and, with the approval of the neurological specialists, to continue doing what helps me most in my recovery: simply living my everyday life and continuing to pursue my passion of playing football. I have taken responsibility for that decision. Overall, I have a very good feeling, and I am on a good path. What helps me most along the way 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 the circle of my closest confidants, the club, and the experts.

Thank you very much.

Yours,

J ❤️"
