Neuer's harsh criticism of Donnarumma after Musiala's chilling injury

The young Bayern player suffered a fibula fracture after a violent collision, and the German goalkeeper criticized his colleague for the play and his reaction

Bayern Munich was not only eliminated from the Club World Cup after losing to Paris Saint-Germain, but also received equally bad news: the extremely serious injury to Jamal Musiala, who had to leave the field on a stretcher after a violent collision withGianluigi Donnarumma.

According to the initial medical reports, the young German midfielder suffered a fracture of the fibula in his left leg, which will keep him off the field for four to five months. Everything happened when Musiala went after a deep pass from Michael Olise inside the box, while defender Willian Pacho tried to close him down.  Donnarumma came out forcefully and ended up falling on the midfielder's leg, which bent in a shocking way.

The image provoked an immediate reaction on the field: Harry Kane called for urgent medical assistance and referee Anthony Taylor stopped the game. The cameras captured the severity of the injury, with the German's ankle in a completely unnatural position.

After the match, Bayern's goalkeeper and captain, Manuel Neuer, was very harsh in the mixed zone: "In my opinion, you shouldn't get into that situation. It's risky, you shouldn't have done it. He's willing to accept his opponent's injury".

Neuer also questioned Donnarumma's attitude after the play: "Don't you want to go see him? He's lying there, he'll probably go to the hospital. I think it's respectful to go see him, wish him the best, and apologize. Then he approached Jamal. I would've reacted differently".

Meanwhile, according to media outlets such as Bild and RMC Sport, Donnarumma went to Bayern's locker room after the match to apologize in person, although Musiala had already been taken for medical tests. In response, PSG's goalkeeper chose to send him a direct message to apologize.

Finally, the Italian also spoke out on social media, where he posted a visibly affected photo and wrote: "All my prayers and best wishes are with you".
