Gnabry ruled out of World Cup after training‑ground adductor injury

Serge Gnabry has confirmed he will miss the upcoming World Cup after an adductor injury sustained in training ended his hopes of featuring for Germany this summer. The Bayern Munich winger announced the news on Instagram, admitting the past few days had been emotionally difficult as he processed the reality of being unavailable for both club and country for the remainder of the season. Gnabry said his long‑held dream of playing at the tournament had “come to an end,” adding that he will now support the national team from home.

The thirty‑year‑old has been an important figure for Bayern this campaign, often stepping into an attacking midfield role during Jamal Musiala’s lengthy absence. He also started both legs of the Champions League quarter‑final against Real Madrid. The injury occurred during Bayern’s final session before last weekend’s match against Stuttgart, a victory that ultimately secured an early Bundesliga title.
