A moment of great alarm at FC Bayern! Jamal Musiala suddenly collapsed on the field during the friendly match against RB Leipzig without any apparent contact from an opponent. For a brief moment, the emergency doctor even had to come onto the field. Shortly afterward, at least an initial all-clear was given.
In the closing stages of the Telekom Cup, the game itself suddenly took a back seat. In the 83rd minute, Jamal Musiala collapsed on the field without any apparent contact with an opponent.
The match was immediately halted as a result. Because it was initially completely unclear what was wrong with the 23-year-old, the emergency doctor was even called onto the field briefly.
Shortly afterward, there was at least some initial relief. Musiala was responsive but appeared visibly dazed after the incident. Naturally, the star forward was unable to continue playing.

The incident came as a particular surprise because Musiala had only been substituted into the game a few minutes earlier. After coming on, the German national team player had even scored the goal that made it 3-1 for Munich.
Shortly thereafter came the shocking moment.
What exactly led to Musiala’s collapse remains unclear at this time. A precise diagnosis was not available immediately after the incident. Further examinations should now shed light on what caused the incident.
For Vincent Kompany, this isn’t the only personnel concern stemming from the grueling match against RB Leipzig. Earlier in the game, Konrad Laimer and Minjae Kim had already had to be substituted due to injuries.
