An emergency doctor sprinted onto the pitch to attend to Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala during the team's Telekom Cup friendly against RB Leipzig on Saturday, according to BILD.
The incident occurred during the match, which Bayern went on to win. BILD reported that the doctor's sudden dash onto the field created a moment of alarm, with the focus quickly shifting from the game itself to Musiala's condition.
The match was part of the Telekom Cup, a pre-season tournament. Bayern's official match report confirmed the friendly took place and that the team beat Leipzig, but did not provide details on Musiala's injury.
German outlet Kicker noted that Bayern's victory was overshadowed by concerns over three players: Musiala, Konrad Laimer, and Kim Min-jae. The extent of Musiala's injury remains unclear, and no official diagnosis has been released by the club.
Sport Bild described the scene as a shock for Bayern, with the emergency physician running across the field to reach the young playmaker. The severity of the situation was underscored by the speed of the medical response.
Bayern's win over Leipzig in the Telekom Cup was confirmed by multiple outlets, but the result was widely treated as secondary to the health scare involving Musiala.
What to watch next: Bayern Munich is expected to provide an update on Musiala's condition in the coming days, which will determine his availability for the start of the Bundesliga season.
