Donnarumma 'shocked' after duel that caused Musiala's serious injury
Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala in action during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final soccer match against between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Sven Hoppe/dpa Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is still shaken after a duel with Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala, which caused a major injury to the Bavarian player. "I'm very shocked by what happened, it was certainly not my intention to injure Musiala," Donnarumma told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper on Monday. Advertisement Musiala sustained the injury to his left leg after being hit by the goalkeeper late in the first half of the 2-0 defeat by PSG on Saturday. He fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle and will be sidelined for a "long period," Bayern said. "It was a matter of a tenth of a second. Gigio was first to reach the ball and couldn't avoid the contact," Donnaruma's agent Vincenzo Raiola said. "It's unfair to think that he wanted to hurt Musiala, who we hope will recover as soon as possible to return stronger than before," he added. After the duel, Donnarumma seemed disoriented as Musiala laid in pain on the ground. Advertisement "He didn't want to pretend nothing happened, Gigio is a very sensitive guy," Raiola continued. He said that Donnarumma even texted him during half-time - something that has never happened before as Donnarumma usually turns off his phone an hour before kick-off and only turns it on again once the game is over. "This time he sent me a message to tell me he was shaken and that he hadn't done it on purpose," Raiola said.

Musiala will undergo surgery and sidelined for several months. However, according to media reports, Bayern and Suttgart are very far from an agreement over the transfer fee. The German Cup champions allegedly want a huge fee, with some reports speaking of close to €100 million ($117.33 million), to get him out of his contract until 2028.

In addition to Woltemade, his national team colleagues Deniz Undav, Maximilian Mittelstädt and Alexander Nübel as well as Bosnian international Ermedin Demirovic were also absent.
