Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala was stretchered off with a suspected leg fracture at the end of the first half of their Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Geermain on Saturday.

German international Musiala completely twisted his left leg while in a scramble for the ball against PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and defender Willian Pacho.

Donnarumma had to look away in shock, and players from both teams were also clearly distraught as Musiala was taken off, with sources telling dpa that a fracture was suspected.

The injury came in Musiala's first start since he sustained a muscle injury three months ago.

He had missed the rest of the Bundesliga season for the champions, and the Nations League finals for Germany, before returning for the Club World Cup where he had featured as a substitute in previous games.

Another serious injury would be a huge blow for Bayern and for Germany, which has World Cup qualifiers in autumn.
