Bayern Munich playmaker Jamal Musiala faces a “long period” on the sidelines after he suffered a broken fibula and an ankle dislocation at the Club World Cup, the German champions said yesterday.

The 22-year-old Germany international was hurt in a challenge with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as Bayern lost 2-0 in the quarter-finals in Atlanta on Saturday.

Coach Vincent Kompany was incensed by the injury but called it an “accident”. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer criticised Donnarumma though for being “reckless”.

Musiala was on a flight back to Munich yesterday morning and will undergo surgery soon, Bayern said in a statement.
