Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala badly injured in Club World Cup - ESPN

Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala was taken to hospital after badly injuring his left leg in 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.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl said after the game that Musiala had been taken to hospital. «For me, this isn't a result of constant playing,» he added. «It is more of an accident, it happened and this is obviously bad for us.»

«It didn't look good,» Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. «If I'm just watching the images, it looked like an ankle injury of some kind, but I'm not going to make a diagnosis here.»

He added: «When I'm sat here next to you now, the thing that gets my blood still boiling at the moment, it's not the result. I understand this is football, but it's the fact that it happened to someone that enjoys the game so much, but he's also very important for us.»

Musiala, a 22-year-old 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 at that point.

PSG went on to win 2-0, despite being reduced to nine men after late red cards for Willian Pacho and Lucas
