Serge Gnabry’s season is over. The Bayern Munich striker suspected it a little since his replacement on April 15, in the 61st minute of the Champions League quarter-final return leg between his club and Real Madrid. Since then, he has taken tests whose results confirmed his fears. He will be out of the 2026 World Cup.
Victim of a muscle tear in the adductor of his right thigh, the German published a message on his social networks. “The last few days have been complicated to manage. A season for Bayern Munich which still has a lot to play to secure a new Bundesliga title last weekend. As for my World Cup dreams with the German selection… Unfortunately, it’s over for me. Like the rest of the country, I will support the guys from home. »
And Serge Gnabry concludes: “Now is the time to focus on my recovery to return for pre-season. Thank you all for your messages. » The exact duration of the footballer’s unavailability is not known and has not been communicated by Bayern Munich. In Germany, several media reported two to four months of absence.
Serge Gnabry deprived of World Cup
Before supporting Germany, Serge Gnabry will have time to encourage his club which, not content with having validated its thirty-fifth Bundesliga coronation, is still in the race in the German Cup and the Champions League. This Wednesday, the Bavarians beat Bayer Leverkusen (0-2) and qualified for the final of their national cup.
They will also play the first leg of their C1 semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain which will take place on April 28 at the Parc des Princes. The return takes place on May 6 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
