The Bayern Munich midfielder fractured his fibula and damaged ankle ligaments following a brutal collision with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Club World Cup. The 22-year-old was stretchered off in Atlanta, visibly distraught, and Bayern later confirmed he requires surgery that will sideline him for several months.

Jamal Musiala opened up on his horror injury against Paris Saint-Germain, revealing his rehab plans and his sympathy for Gianluigi Donnarumma.
