Jamal Musiala Undergoes Surgery After Fracturing Fibula Against PSG. Bayern Munich have confirmed that star midfielder Jamal Musiala has undergone successful surgery after sustaining a serious injury during the Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the United States. The 22-year-old suffered a fractured fibula along with a dislocated ankle late in the first half, following a heavy collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. As he challenged for a loose ball, Musiala's ankle was caught underneath Donnarumma, leaving him in immediate and intense pain. He was unable to continue and was substituted at halftime. Following his return to Germany, Bayern’s medical team acted swiftly. The club released an official statement confirming the successful outcome of his surgery and noted that Musiala will begin his rehabilitation process as early as Tuesday, just a day after the procedure. However, the road to recovery will be a long one. According to German news outlet BILD, Musiala not only fractured his fibula but also damaged multiple ankle ligaments, which significantly extends his expected recovery time. Initial estimates suggest he could be sidelined for four to five months, ruling him out for a major part of Bayern’s upcoming season. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund spoke to DAZN about the situation, stating, “Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good.” Musiala, who has been a key figure for both Bayern Munich and the German national team, will be a huge miss in the coming months. His absence adds to the injury woes for the Bundesliga giants as they prepare for the critical stages of the season. The club has not yet confirmed a specific return date, but hopes are high that the young star will make a full recovery and return to the pitch before the end of the year.
