Impact for Bayern Munich
This comes at a crucial moment — Musiala had already scored three goals in the tournament, bringing his season total to 20 (12 Bundesliga, 3 Champions League, 5 Club World Cup) :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
His exit forced Bayern to reshuffle in midfield, and the timing could complicate their campaign, depending on the severity of the injury.
Next Steps & What to Watch
➡️ Expect an official medical update from Bayern in the coming days. Ankle injuries of this type often require imaging to determine if it's a break or a high-grade sprain.
➡️ Recovery timelines vary from weeks to months. If it's a fracture, Musiala could miss the remainder of the Club World Cup and part of Bayern’s Bundesliga and European campaign.
➡️ Bayern's medical team and Kompany's staff will monitor closely and plan accordingly based on his diagnosis.
