Overview
- Bayern said Saturday that Serge Gnabry tore the adductor muscle in his right thigh and will be out for an extended period with no return date.
- Reports from Sky and Sport Bild indicate a recovery of roughly two to four months, which would end his club season and jeopardize his 2026 World Cup place.
- Manager Vincent Kompany called the setback very unfortunate and said it happened during a training penalty shoot-out.
- Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann offered support and contacted the player after the diagnosis, saying the national team stands behind him.
- The loss hits Bayern before a German Cup semi at Bayer Leverkusen and a Champions League semi against Paris Saint-Germain, with Jamal Musiala seen as the primary internal replacement after Gnabry’s eight goals and seven assists in league play.
