Leroy Sané hailed Germany team-mate Jamal Musiala as a difference maker as he wished his former Bayern Munich colleague a speedy recovery.
The 22-year-old broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle in Bayern's 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
The playmaker will now be out for several months. Sané will be one of the candidates to fill in for him for Germany in upcoming World Cup qualifiers, but he can no longer replace Musiala for Bayern after recently leaving for Galatasaray.
"I really hope he recovers soon. Bayern and the national team need him and his brilliant moments," the 29-year-old told Sky. "He was just on his way to becoming 100% fit again, and then this... I feel so incredibly sorry for him. It’s so frustrating."
Musiala underwent successful surgery on Monday.
"I watched the game live on TV," Sané said. "The scene didn’t look good at all after the first replay. Unfortunately, you could already sense that it would mean a longer recovery period. It’s unbelievably bitter. I was stunned at first."
