Kompany Offers Injury Update on Jamal Musiala After Club World Cup Setback
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has shared an update on Jamal Musialaâs condition following the midfielderâs injury during their FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The match, a tightly fought contest, ended in a defeat for Bayern, with PSG advancing thanks to goals from DĂŠsirĂŠ DouĂŠ and Ousmane DembĂŠlĂŠ. However, the scoreline was overshadowed by serious concern for Musiala, who had to be stretchered off after a heavy collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The incident took place in the second half as Musiala chased a loose ball and made contact with Donnarumma in an awkward clash. The 21-year-old German international went down in visible distress, prompting immediate concern from teammates and medical staff.
Kompany Cautious on Severity
During his post-match remarks, Kompany addressed the injury, describing the moment as emotionally difficult for the team.
âIt was tough to watch. Everyone saw what happened and it didnât look promising,â Kompany said. âWeâre staying hopeful that the injury is not as serious as it seemed, and Jamal is receiving top-level medical care right now.â
While early signs suggest the injury involves the ankle, Kompany was clear that no definitive assessment had been made.
âLooking at the footage, it appears to be something with the ankle, but I donât want to jump to conclusions,â he added.
Awaiting Further Tests
Bayernâs medical staff will conduct a thorough examination in the coming days to determine the full extent of Musialaâs injury. At present, there is no official timeline for his recovery.
Fans across the footballing world are anxiously awaiting further news, hoping the talented playmaker escapes serious damage and can return to the pitch soon.
