Jamal Musiala's recent surgery for an ankle fracture and dislocation has led to a recovery prognosis of 4-5 months. Dr. Rajpal Brar indicates that the fibular bone was involved, and the dislocation involved ligament damage. Despite the successful surgery, concerns remain about Musiala regaining world-class form. A typical recovery timeline for similar injuries is around 6 months, meaning Musiala could return around the new year but would need additional time to regain peak performance. Participation in the World Cup may occur, but full fitness is uncertain at that stage.
Jamal Musiala has suffered an ankle fracture, a dislocation. This fracture typically refers to the fibular bone which is the outer lower leg bone that starts near the knee and travels down to the ankle - the knob on the outside of the ankle is the 'head' of the fibula. Dislocation results from tearing and rupturing of ankle ligaments resulting in the oddly shaped angle of the foot and ankle that you graphically may have seen on video.
At that point, he would still need gradual and methodical ramp up time and bounce matches to get back to previous form. That four to five month ramp up period would likely be enough time for him to participate in the World Cup although I wouldn't expect him to be fully back to previous form.
