Jamal Musiala insists "there is no one to blame" for the injury he suffered during Bayern Munich's 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain last weekend.
The German international suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle after colliding with Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma during the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final.
Things went from bad to worse for the Bundesliga champions as goals from Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele resulted in them being eliminated from the tournament.
Musiala is now expected to be out of action for at least four months, but he believes that these horrific injuries are just a part of the beautiful game.
"Hello everyone, I wanted to say thank you for all the love and support I got from all of you," he said in a video posted on his social media accounts.
"It really means a lot to me and it is nice to see how the football world comes together in a time like this. I really appreciate it.
