Germany forward Serge Gnabry confirmed on Wednesday that he will miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to injury.
His pro club Bayern Munich announced on Saturday that Gnabry, 30, had torn the adductor muscle in his right thigh.
'The last few days have been tough to process,' he posted on Instagram. 'A Bayern season which still holds much to play for after securing another Bundesliga title on the weekend.
'As for the World Cup dream with Germany ... That's sadly over for me. Like the rest of the country, I'll be supporting the boys from home. Now it's time to focus on recovery and getting back for pre-season.'
Gnabry recorded eight goals and six assists this season for the Bundesliga champions in 2025-26, his eighth season with Bayern Munich.
Internationally, Gnabry has scored 26 goals in 59 caps since making his debut for Germany in 2016. He started every World Cup qualifier and two friendlies in March leading up to this summer's tournament in North America.
Germany is No. 10 in the latest FIFA world rankings. The four-time World Cup champions are in Group E along with Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador. Their opening match is against Curacao on June 14 in Houston.
