Bayern Munich’s young star Jamal Musiala suffered a severe leg injury near the end of the first half during the team’s 2-0 quarterfinal defeat to PSG at the Club World Cup held in Atlanta. The Germany international, known for his technical skills and playmaking ability, was injured after a challenge with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

While pursuing a loose ball in the penalty area, Musiala’s left leg was severely impacted, resulting in his ankle being visibly dislocated. His teammates surrounded him in distress while the referee called for medical assistance.

Following the incident, Musiala was transported to a hospital for treatment. According to Max Eberl, Bayern’s sporting director, “This is not a result of continuous play; it was merely an unfortunate accident. It’s a significant setback for us.”

Coach Vincent Kompany added, “The visuals suggested an ankle injury, but I can’t diagnose it myself.”

On Monday, Bayern confirmed that Musiala had sustained a fibula fracture and an ankle dislocation, sidelining him for an extended recovery period.

In a Twitter post, Bayern expressed their support:

“Jamal Musiala suffered a fibula fracture and an ankle dislocation and will be sidelined for a long period of time. 💔

We are with you every step of the way, Jamal! 🙏

Despite Musiala’s injury, PSG managed to secure a late goal in the 78th minute, and even after two red cards issued to their players, they held onto their lead. Ousmane Dembélé scored PSG’s second goal in injury time. The victory ensures PSG’s advancement to the semifinals against Real Madrid next week.

Musiala was the Germany national player of the year last season, making history as the youngest player to debut for the national team in a World Cup since 1958. He is widely recognized as a future superstar in the sport.
