Bayern Munich chief Max Eberl says Jamal Musiala is doing well after collapsing on Saturday. The German international was involved in worrying scenes during Bayern's Telekom Cup clash with RB Leipzig when he fell to ground in the latter stages during the 3-1 win.

Reports suggest that the dizzying heats in Bavaria played a role in the frightening moment for the 23-year-old, who after treatment was able to walk off. The incident occurred in the latter stages of the contest, three minutes after the German rounded off the scoring, when Musiala began to stagger with no opponents behind him.

Ismael Saibari was one of the first players on the scene before his Bayern teammates and medical staff rushed to Musiala's support. BILD reported that the midfielder became dizzy while playing in temperatures of around 33 degrees leading to circulation problems.

Eberl said: "The most important thing is that he is well. There's nothing more to say about anything else."

The German outlet claim that after the serious leg injury that Musiala suffered during last summer's Club World Cup. He is fighting to return to his old form and physical condition.

Last season, the Bayern star struggled with ankle problems as the German giants romped to another top-flight crown and bowed out in the Champions League semi-final. A metal plate was removed from his foot after Germany's disappointing World Cup exit where he missed the pre-season tours in Asia.

He completed his individual rehabilitation training programme, returning to the fold on Monday but has suffered a setback in his first outing. Vincent Kompany introduced Musiala during the closing stages of the friendly against Leipzig but just 15 minutes into his comeback, he suffered the worrying collapse.

Manuel Neuer said: "It will become clear what it was. But of course we are keeping our fingers crossed."

England star Harry Kane and Michael Olise were among the players watching on from the stands after being afforded extra rest following their World Cup exploits.
