Bayern Munich have confirmed Jamal Musiala was conscious and able to get changed as usual after collapsing in the side’s pre-season clash with Heidenheim this evening.
There was an uncomfortable feeling of deja-vu as a disorientated Musiala took a turn for the worse before falling to the floor against Heidenheim, just as he had done during Bayern’s friendly with RB Leipzig only three days earlier.
Fans and team-mates were left in a state of shock as Jonathan Tah and Harry Kane immediately rushed to Musiala, assisting the forward and gently laying him on the ground at Voith-Arena.
Both sets players were soon alerted to potential seriousness of the situation and joined to form a ring around Musiala to shield the Germany international from the view of cameras.

Chants of ‘Jamal Musiala’ rang out around the stadium as Musiala received treatment on the field and the 23-year-old was eventually able to make his way off the pitch.
At first, Musiala appeared to be heading towards the substitutes bench but accompanied by two members of Bayern’s staff, the attacker made a beeline for the tunnel, with Cassiano Kiala sent on in his place.
‘Jamal will speak about this in the foreseeable future,’ Bayern’s director of sport Max Eberl told reporters when asked for an update on Musiala’s condition.
