Musiala suffers horror injuryCollides with DonnarummaPSG star looks visibly shakenFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Musiala cried out in pain following a coming together with Donnarumma late on in Bayern's Club World Cup quarter-final clash with PSG on Saturday. As footage of the incident appeared to show that the German international had broken his ankle, the Italian keeper looked visibly shaken, as did many of his team-mates and the Bayern players.

Musiala is arguably Bayern's best player, so the possibility of losing him for a long time is a real hammer blow to Vincent Kompany's men. The German giants lost key winger Leroy Sane to Galatasaray earlier this summer, so if the 22-year-old – who had to be stretchered off – is set for a spell on the sidelines, the Bundesliga champions may be forced into a transfer signing soon.
DID YOU KNOW?
Musiala, who signed a deal at Allianz Arena until 2030 earlier this year, missed the tail end of last season with a torn muscle and only recently returned to action. When he was fit last term, he scored 21 goals and added eight assists in 43 appearances.

It remains to be seen how long Musiala, who was replaced at half-time against PSG by substitute Serge Gnabry, will be out for, with manager Kompany likely to address the matter after this last eight clash with PSG.
