Bayern officially announced that Musiara will undergo surgery and has a serious fibula fracture, which may lead to long-term absence

In the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup (FC World Cup) held in the early morning of Sunday, Bayern Munich lost 0-2 to Paris Saint-Germain and stopped in the quarterfinals. However, what made Bayern more worried than the defeat was that the team's core Jamal Musiara was seriously injured.

Bayern Munich Club officially confirmed that Musiara had a fibula fractured during the game. It is reported that the serious injury occurred in a fight between Musiara and Paris goalkeeper Gianluigi Donaluma, causing his ankle to be dislocated. The 22-year-old German international has now returned to Munich and will undergo surgery and is expected to be out for a long time.

"This serious injury and long recovery period are a heavy blow to Jamal and all of us," Bayern sporting director Max Ebert said bluntly. "This is a heavy blow to Bayern Munich. Everyone knows how important Jamal is to our game and how central he plays in the team. From a human point of view, it is also extremely heartbreaking. He has just returned from injury, but now he has to stay away from the field for a long time. The club will fully support him, provide all the help he needs, stay by his side, and look forward to his return to the court as soon as possible."

Last season, Musiara, as an important contributor to Bayern's re-winning Bundesliga championship, made 40 appearances in various competitions, contributing 18 goals and 5 assists (a total of 23 goals). Its expected assist data of 9.6 also shows that he has created a large number of high-quality opportunities for his teammates. In addition, he ranked first in the team with 100 successful dribbling, ahead of second-ranked Michael Olisse (97 times).

With Musiara's serious injury and Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane's departure, Bayern urgently needs to strengthen on the offensive end before the upcoming 2025-26 season. Bayern is believed to have shown interest in Stuttgart attacker Nick Waltermad, who scored 6 goals in five games for the German team at the U21 European Youth Championship this summer, with an impressive performance.
