· Sports · Sportstar, CBS Sports, Times of India
Jamal Musiala, 23, collapsed before the final minutes of Bayern Munich’s pre‑season friendly against Leipzig in Munich on Aug 16, 2026. Medical staff stretchered him off the pitch, but he later walked down the tunnel unassisted while appearing dazed. A Bayern board member for sport later said the main thing is that he is OK, though the club gave no further update on his condition or the cause of the collapse. The match was played in temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F), which may have contributed to the incident. Bayern has not confirmed whether Musiala will be available for the upcoming Bundesliga season‑opener.
Why it matters
Musiala is a key attacker for Bayern, and his fitness will shape the team’s start to the Bundesliga campaign. His availability could affect Bayern’s early results and fan expectations.
