Bayern Munich suffered a 2-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup on July 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
This defeat saw Bayern Munich’s elimination from the competition. However, that was not the only heartbreak for the Bundesliga giants.
Bayern’s Jamal Musiala has sustained a fracture to his left leg following a collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the match.
Following the clash on Saturday, Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl confirmed that Musiala will be ‘out for a long period,’ and said,
“This serious injury and the lengthy lay-off are a real shock for Jamal and us all. Jamal has just come back from an injury and will now be out for another long period. He’ll get everything he needs from us. We’ll support him intensively, be by his side and already look forward to when he’s back on the pitch,” as per ESPN.
A recent club statement mentioned that Musiala has successfully undergone surgery for his injury, and now, questions surface about how long the 22-year-old will need to recover and return to action.
