Bayern’s Musiala Hit By Fresh Injury Setback

Bayern Munich playmaker Jamal Musiala faces another spell on the sidelines after suffering what appeared to be a serious injury in his side’s FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

The return of the outstanding 22-year-old Bayern and Germany attacker had boosted Vincent Kompany’s men during their summer at the Club World Cup in the USA.

On making his first start since a Bundesliga match in Augsburg in April, he collided into PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma shortly before half-time and had to be stretchered off the field in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Musiala netted a hat-trick in a huge 10-0 win over Auckland City in Bayern’s opening tie in the tournament, but the player and club now face an anxious wait for a precise diagnosis with fears over a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
