MUNICH — Bayern Munich did not give an update Sunday about the condition of Jamal Musiala, who collapsed the day before during a friendly game against RB Leipzig.
The 23-year-old Musiala fell to the field shortly before the end of the match, causing alarm among his teammates before medical staff rushed to his side. They attended to the player before one of them eased the tension by giving a thumbs up.
Musiala was able to leave the field unattended and descend the steps into the players’ tunnel by himself, though he still appeared dazed, news agency DPA reported.
“The main thing is that he’s OK,” a Bayern board member for sport said several hours later, but there were no further details given on the player’s condition, nor what caused him to collapse.

High temperatures may have played a role — it was over 30-degrees-Celcius (86-degrees-Fahrenheit) in Munich at the time.
The Associated Press has asked Bayern for an update on Musiala’s condition.
Musiala broke his leg last summer during Bayern’s match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup and returned to action in the Bundesliga at the start of 2026.
