Hard blow for Germany: Serge Gnabry will miss the 2026 World Cup due to a severe injury

Less than two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the German national team received terrible news.

Serge Gnabry was ruled out for the World Cup match due to a serious injury that would marginalize him both from the tournament and from the end of the season with Bayern Munich.

The 30-year-old attacker suffered a ruptured adductor in his right thigh, a criminal practice that ended in the worst way. The injury will force him to stay away from the courts for a long time, approximately 3 to 4 months, with no chance of recovering

in time for the World Cup.

The loss represents a problem for the team led by Julian Nagelsmann, which loses an important variant in attack. Although Gnabry was not an undisputed starter in the recent scheme, his experience and offensive capacity made him a key player in the rotation.

In addition, the blow also impacts Bayern.

Although they won the Bundesliga last week, the Bavarian team will not be able to count on their striker in the two remaining competitions: on the domestic level they are in the semifinals of the German Cup, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen today, while on the continental level they will face a tough series of Champions League semis against Paris Saint-Germain

.

After the news was confirmed, the soccer player himself expressed his frustration on social networks: "The last few days have been difficult to assimilate. A season with Bayern that still has a lot to play after winning another Bundesliga title on the weekend.” “As for the dream of the World Cup with the National Team... unfortunately, it's over for me. Like the rest of the country, I will support the boys from home. Now it's time to focus on recovery and returning to the preseason. Thank you for all the messages,” he concluded.

The absence of Gnabry adds to Germany's concerns for the World Cup, where, despite not going through its most dominant phase, it is still considered one of the teams with the greatest historical weight and a candidate to fight for the title.
