Jamal Musiala suffered a horror injury in the dying embers of the first half during Bayern Munich's Club World Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder looked in agony and had to be stretchered off at half-time following a gruesome collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
As the end of the first half approached, Musiala pressured Willian Pacho inside the box as the PSG defender held him off so Donnarumma could collect. But he inadvertently trapped Musiala as he rushed onto the ball, and the Germany international's left leg clicked into a sickening position as he clattered to the ground in agony.
Donnarumma won the 50-50 ball, so English referee Anthony Taylor did not award a penalty. Instead, he blew the whistle for half-time as medics got to work on the goalline.
The PSG stopper looked visibly devastated over the accident and appeared to be in tears while walking towards the tunnel.
Musiala's Bayern teammates also could not hide their fear over the incident as he cried out in pain on the turf at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
DAZN commentators confirmed that Musiala had been taken to a local medical facility after being stretchered off the pitch.
