Words of relief after surgery

Jamal Musiala, 22, returned to Instagram after undergoing a complex operation for a fibula fracture and ankle dislocation suffered during the Club World Cup 2025 quarterfinals. With remarkable composure, he stated: “No one is to blame. These things happen.”

Musiala emphasized that the injury was a freak accident and urged fans to move past the blame game, calling instead for their support: “I’m going to focus on the positives… I can’t wait to come back.”

Bayern between pain and unity

For head coach Vincent Kompany, the most painful part of the loss to PSG wasn’t the result — it was the condition of Bayern’s young star: “It makes my blood boil… this hit the team hard.”

Initial diagnoses ranged from appendicitis to what was ultimately confirmed: a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. The club described the news as a “shock,” but also vowed full support in his recovery. In these critical post-surgery weeks, Musiala not only got discharged, but also received an outpouring of love that has boosted him mentally.

What’s next?

His message showed maturity and a clear will to heal: “These things happen… I’ll focus on getting back to my best.”

That mindset suggests a professional and steady recovery. Although he’s expected to be out for 4 to 6 months, his return will be crucial for Bayern’s season — and for Germany’s 2026 World Cup hopes.
