Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala is facing up to several months on the sidelines after breaking his ankle at the FIFA Club World Cup. The Germany international is reported to have suffered a broken left fibula, with a horror injury being picked up when facing Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of a global tournament in the United States.
Said contest saw Musiala - who is inheriting the No.10 shirt at Bayern from departing team-mate Leroy Sane - make his first start since April, having recovered from a muscular complaint, but he is back on the treatment table after being taken to hospital in Atlanta.
The 22-year-old competed for a loose ball with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma late in the first half of a clash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. His ankle got caught under the Italian goalkeeper, leaving him writhing in agony and requiring immediate medical assistance.
