Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala badly injured his left leg and was forced to leave his team’s defeat against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday in the Club World Cup quarterfinals.
Musiala was hurt late in the first half following a 50-50 challenge with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The replay of the gruesome injury was not shown on the big screens at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
The 22-year-old Musiala, who also plays for Germany‘s national team, entered Saturday’s match with three goals in the tournament — one behind golden boot leaders Ángel Di María and Marcos Leonardo. His Club World Cup goals brought his tally to 20 this season, including 12 in the Bundesliga and three in the Champions League.
Musiala’s injury came just before halftime. The referee whistled for the break as the midfielder received treatment on the field. Serge Gnabry replaced him in the lineup to begin the second half with the score 0-0.
PSG went onto win 2-0, despite being reduced to nine men after late red cards for Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández, to reach the semifinals.
