• The ankle twisted at a sickening angle when his leg was caught under goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during a 50-50 challenge, prompting broadcasters to cut away.
• Bayern Munich released an immediate message of support and replaced Musiala with Serge Gnabry at half-time as he was stretchered off.
• Detailed scan results are pending, leaving the 22-year-old’s absence uncertain and casting doubt on his involvement in upcoming Bundesliga and Champions League fixtures.
• The potential long-term layoff for their key creative midfielder may force Bayern to reassess summer transfer plans ahead of the new season.
