He was injured during Al Duhail's 5-2 win over Al Sailiya in the Qatar Stars League (QSL) on Saturday with the club later saying in a statement that he will be out of action for six months.
Msakni took to Instagram to celebrate the club's sixth QSL title where he confirmed the injury.
"Thank God for this, but it's just fate to experience the unexpected," he said.
"Congratulations for the trophy. Sadly this injury has denied me a chance to continue with my club and to play in the World Cup."
