Bayern Munich are in the final weeks of their preseason tour ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga campaign, while the team have been recording some positive results, there has been a worrying trend as of late: Jamal Musiala's health. During the Bavarians' friendly match against RB Leipzig, the German wonderkid collapsed on the field, which resulted in him being taken off early, doing so on his own. Initial reports at the time said Musiala felt uneasy after the match, feeling dizzy and flushed.

As for the match itself, Bayern Munich prevailed over their domestic counterparts, 4-2. Recent episodes of collapsing across football While Musiala's incidents are the most recent, it's not exactly an isolated phenomenon. It was only a few months back, when Christian Eriksen fell during an international friendly against Ukraine, with that being the second big incident in the Dane's international career, suffering from cardiac arrest during Denmark's match against Finland during EURO 2020. That incident in particular caused Eriksen to miss some significant time, waiting close to eight months to appear in a match again, having signed with Premier League outfit Brentford to mark his return to action. It's not known at this time what is going on with Musiala, but the German star is expected to speak about his health soon.
