Jamal Musiala undergoes successful surgery on fractured fibula as Bayern Munich confirm star midfielder will start rehab immediately after horror injury at Club World Cup

The Bundesliga champions have confirmed that the 22-year-old has undergone successful surgery and will begin his rehabilitation programme from Tuesday. The shocking incident happened in the first half of the quarter-final match against PSG as Musiala raced to the byline. He found himself sandwiched between Willian Pacho and the onrushing Donnarumma. In an attempt to collect the ball, the Italian goalkeeper launched himself forward, but in the process, Musiala’s leg was caught awkwardly underneath his body.

Disturbing images appeared of Musiala's twisted ankle as he received immediate medical attention on the pitch, before being stretchered off. Vincent Kompany's side eventually lost the clash 2-0 and were eliminated from the competition. Bayern have now confirmed that Musiala is facing "months" on the sidelines.
