Overview
- FC Bayern said Serge Gnabry tore an adductor in his right thigh during training and will be sidelined for an extended spell.
- The club did not give a return date, and reporting suggests he is likely to miss upcoming knockout games against Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain.
- Gnabry had shifted from the wing into a central role behind striker Harry Kane this season, which makes his absence more disruptive to Bayern’s attack.
- With Lennart Karl also injured, Jamal Musiala stands as the main natural option in the attacking midfield slot, and coaches may consider stopgaps or role changes.
- A torn adductor often needs weeks to months to heal, and some coverage has raised the possibility that his season and World Cup hopes could be at risk, though Bayern offered no timetable.
