Bayern stay coy on Musiala appearing to faint in friendly game

Bayern Munich have yet to update fans on the situation with Jamal Musiala after the playmaker appeared to faint towards the end of the 3-1 friendly win over RB Leipzig on Saturday, reported dpa.

The German double winners often post fitness updates the day after a match but are staying coy on Musiala, who has been battling back to fitness after a leg break just over a year ago.

"The most important thing is that he is fine," sporting director Max Eberl said long after the final whistle in the only official comment.

The heat in the Allianz Arena may have been a factor as Musiala fell to the turf late on in a game where he scored as a substitute, prompting worried team mates to quickly call for the team doctor.

There was a thumbs-up from the doctor while Musiala was able to leave the pitch himself and go down the tunnel stairs, but the 23-year-old still looked dazed.

Musiala looked a shadow of his former self at June and July's World Cup and the signing of Morocco's Ismael Saibari has threatened his starting spot for the Bavarians.

Bayern's first competitive game of the season is the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup at Borussia Dortmund next Saturday.
