BVB manager Kehl expresses dismay over Musiala's injury: "Dreadful"
In a shocking turn of events during the Club World Cup quarterfinals, Bayern Munich's star midfielder, Jamal Musiala, sustained a serious injury that has left both the club and football enthusiasts across the globe in dismay. The 22-year-old German national was playing against Paris Saint-Germain when he suffered a broken left fibula, ankle dislocation, and ligament damage[1][2][3][4].
The incident occurred just before half-time in an action against PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Musiala's left foot pointed sideways, indicating the gravity of the injury[1]. Following immediate medical attention, he was taken to hospital and underwent surgery upon returning to Munich.
Bayern Munich and German media estimate that Musiala will be out of action for approximately four to five months[1][4]. This setback comes shortly after Musiala had returned from a previous muscle injury, making it a challenging phase for the young prodigy. Bayern's coach, Vincent Kompany, expressed confidence that Musiala, a player who deeply loves football, will overcome this challenge and return stronger[1].
The injury has caused concern among Bayern Munich's competitors, including Borussia Dortmund. Sebastian Kehl, the sporting director of Borussia Dortmund, expressed his discomfort over witnessing Musiala's injury[1]. Despite not providing new information about the nature or severity of Musiala's injury, Kehl wished him all the best and believed he was strong enough to come back from the injury.
Musiala's injury did not affect the outcome of the match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, which ended with a 0-2 defeat for Bayern Munich. The latest update on Musiala's recovery and prognosis remains uncertain, but the club is providing full support for his rehabilitation.
Both matches took place in Atlanta and East Rutherford, New Jersey, respectively. The other game saw Borussia Dortmund suffer a 2-3 defeat against Real Madrid[1]. Despite these losses, the football community continues to rally around Musiala, offering support and well-wishes during this difficult time.
