🎙️ Gnabry likely to miss the World Cup, Germany boss Nagelsmann reacts
Serge Gnabry’s injury is not just a real nightmare for FC Bayern. Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann is likely far from pleased as well, as he may have to do without one of his key players at the World Cup this summer.
According to information from ‘Sky Sport’ and ‘Bild’, a torn adductor muscle — which the attacker suffered in training, according to FC Bayern Munich — means he could be sidelined for around two to four months. That would mean missing the World Cup.
His club did not give an official recovery timeline, only saying that Gnabry will be out for a “longer period of time.”
In a media statement for, among others, ‘Bild’ and ‘DPA’, national team coach Julian Nagelsmann has now reacted to Gnabry’s injury.

He said that he feels very sorry for Serge.
He continued: “This is very bitter news, especially at this stage of the season, with such big and important games coming up. We were in touch last night, and I told him that everyone in the national team is behind him as well. We will all support him as best we can so that he can get back on the pitch as quickly as possible. Get well soon, Serge!”
So all that remains is to wait and see whether there is still some hope after all, or whether the attacking star is indeed out of the World Cup in the USA, Mexico and .
