According to FC Bayern Munich, the surgery was successful. The 22-year-old attacker suffered a dislocation of his ankle and a fracture of his fibula in the 0-2 quarterfinal defeat against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday in Atlanta.

Musiala was flown back to Munich on Sunday, separate from the team. He is scheduled to begin his first rehabilitation sessions on Tuesday, the German record champions announced. The exact length of his absence is unclear. He will "not be available for the next few months," the club's statement stated vaguely.

Musiala injured himself in Atlanta shortly before halftime in a challenge against PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian dived for the ball and trapped the Bayern player's lower leg. Musiala's left foot was then stuck out to the side. These images alone suggested a serious injury.
