Jamal Musiala will miss the majority of next season after suffering a horrific leg break. The Bayern Munich star was involved in a brutal collision with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Club World Cup.

It was immediately clear that the 22-year-old had picked up a serious injury as was stretched off the pitch in agony.

And having put him through testing for the issue, Bayern have revealed how longMusialawill be out for. A statement from the German giants confirmed that the midfielder had ‘sustained a fracture of the fibula associated with a broken and dislocated ankle’ and had flown back to Munich ahead of corrective surgery.

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

"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."

Bayern icon Manuel Neuer was critical of Donnarumma for his reaction after being involved in the incident. He said: "You just accept that your opponent might get injured. It could even be a team-mate.

"So I went over to him and said: 'Don't you want' - because it was half-time anyway - 'don't you want to go over there? Jamal is lying there, he'll probably stay in the hospital, he has a serious injury, and I think it's only right to go over there out of respect and wish him well and just say a little sorry.'

"After that, he went over to Jamal. Fairness is always important, and I would have reacted differently."

Musiala’s injury comes after a stunning season for Bayern. He had scored 21 goals and notched eight assists in all competitions - a record that includes three goals at the Club World Cup.

He might look to a fellow star at the tournament for a little bit of advice following a similar injury. Chelsea starWesley Fofana sustained a horrendous leg break in 2021when playing for Leicester. The Frenchman ended up being ruled out for around seven months, missing around 63 matches in all.
