After a brief period of treatment, Musiala managed to get back on his feet, Goal reports.

Watch Musiala's second collapse in days, as shared on X:
The Heidenheim incident was not an isolated event. Just days earlier, on Saturday, August 15, Musiala had suffered a dizzy spell and collapsed near the end of Bayern's friendly against RB Leipzig, a match his side won 3-1.
He was then absent from the club's team presentation at the Bayern Campus on Monday following an individual training session, which made his inclusion against Heidenheim all the more unexpected.
