What happened. Jamal Musiala collapsed for the second time in four days during Bayern's pre-season friendly with Heidenheim, and has revealed he suffers from easily treatable absence seizures.

• Musiala lasted just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute.
• Bayern confirmed signs existed before the World Cup but hadn't affected him.
• Honorary president Uli Hoeness said he was stunned by the recurrence.

“We have been aware of the problems for some time. But last weekend against Leipzig was the first time it happened on the pitch and was visible to everyone.”

— Uli Hoeness

Bayern officials say Musiala was cleared to play by medical experts, but questions remain about his immediate future.
