Overview

  • Musiala collided with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the first half of the Club World Cup quarterfinal in Atlanta, twisting his left ankle at a severe angle and forcing him off on a stretcher.
  • Initial scans confirmed a fractured left fibula alongside damage to several ankle ligaments, with Sport BILD estimating a recovery window of four to five months.
  • Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said he felt powerless and “rarely been so angry” after witnessing the injury to a key playmaker who had just returned from a hamstring setback.
  • Gianluigi Donnarumma was visibly shaken by the collision and PSG teammates including Marquinhos publicly sent messages wishing Musiala a swift recovery.
  • Bayern Munich must prepare for the 2025–26 season without their emerging No.10 prospect as they await a full medical assessment of his rehabilitation timeline.
