Musiala suffers broken leg and dislocated ankle in horrific clash

Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala will be out for a "long period" after suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle in a horrific clash with Gianluigi Donnarumma during Saturday's Club World Cup defeat by Paris St-Germain

The 22-year-old was injured in the first half when he was caught by keeper Donnarumma while chasing down a ball near the byeline.

Musiala, who screamed in agony as he clutched his left ankle, covered his face with his shirt when he was taken off on a stretcher.

The attacking midfielder was taken to hospital for assessment and has now flown back to Munich for surgery.

"This serious injury and the long absence are a real shock for Jamal and all of us. This hits FC Bayern hard," said Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl.

"Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is for our game and what a central role he plays for our team. Furthermore, the human impact is incredibly bitter; we all feel for him: Jamal has just recovered from an injury and will now be out for another long period.

"He will get everything he needs from us. We will support him intensively and be by his side, and we are already looking forward to him being back on the pitch."

Donnarumma averted his eyes after looking over at Musiala's injury, while Bayern's players were distraught as the Germany international was attended to by club physios.

Following the match, Donnarumma said "all my prayers and well wishes are with you Jamal" in a social media post.
