What happened. Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany revealed that a slight change in Jamal Musiala's medication led to his two collapses in recent friendlies against RB Leipzig and Heidenheim.

• Musiala is being treated for a neurological dysfunction causing temporary seizures.
• Bayern knew of the condition before last season but had not seen it affect him in matches.
• Kompany said Musiala gave permission to share the details and has full support.

“He made a slight change to his treatment, which caused some side effects.”
