Jamal Musiala suffered a broken calf injury.
In a shocking turn of events, Jamal Musiala, the talented footballer for FC Bayern Munich and the German national team, has suffered a fracture of the fibula and an ankle dislocation during an unfortunate incident in the FIFA Club World Cup. The injury occurred just before halftime in an action against Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 20-year-old prodigy was visibly distressed as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher after a lengthy treatment. The severity of the injury was suggested by pictures taken during the incident.
