Bayern reported that midfielder Jamal Musiala, 22, underwent a “successful surgery” on Monday (7). The German club preferred not to disclose an accurate estimate for recovery, stating that it will be out of combat “for the coming months.”
German press vehicles pointed to a period of four to five months in the athlete’s rehabilitation, which suffered a fracture in the left leg fibula and an ankle dislocation. He took the worst in shock with Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on Saturday (5).
“Everyone at Bayern are sending all our strength and our best votes, Jamal,” the club has published, whose delegation has returned from the United States over the weekend. The team lost 2-0 from PSG and was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup.
After the match, Bayern goalkeeper Neuer said Donnarumma could have avoided the play that caused the injury at the end of the first half. The Italian jumped to grab a ball to the floor, and the weight of his body was over the leg of Musiala.
“It’s a situation where, I think, you don’t have to act this way, it’s quite risky. He simply accepted the risk of injury to the opponent,” said the German guard, worried about his partner.
The Real Madrid archer, the next PSG opponent at the World Cup, disagreed. “Blaming Donnarumma seems to me excessive. The goalkeepers go after the ball, just as the attackers don’t wonder if they will hit us when we got out of their feet,” said Belgian Thibaut Courtois.
