Ankle dislocation and fibula fracture: Bayern's Jamal Musiala will be out for a long time. This was announced by the German record champions the day after their quarter-final exit from the Club World Cup. The 22-year-old flew from Orlando to Munich on Sunday morning and will be operated on soon.

"This serious injury and the long absence are a real shock for Jamal and all of us. This affects FC Bayern. Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is for our game and what a central role he plays for our team," sporting director Max Eberl is quoted as saying. "In addition, the human impact is enormously bitter, we all feel for him: Jamal has just come back from injury and will now miss a long time again. He is getting everything he needs from us. We will support him intensively and be by his side and are already looking forward to seeing him back on the pitch."

"Jamal is extremely sad"

In the serious sports accident, PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma crashed into Musiala's lower left leg with the full force of his thigh during a defensive action. Bayern sporting director Max Eberl had already outlined a plan in the USA to carry out both the operation and the follow-up treatment in Germany.

Meanwhile, the Italian goalkeeper addressed the injured Musiala via Instagram. "All my prayers and good wishes are with you @jamalmusiala10," wrote Donnarumma.

"Jamal is extremely sad, extremely dejected," reported Eberl. The World Cup matches were his first after an injury break of more than two months due to a torn muscle bundle in his thigh. The outing against PSG was the attacking star's first in the Munich starting eleven for three months.
