Bayern Munich have been dealt a significant injury blow ahead of their Bundesliga clash with VfB Stuttgart on Sunday, as it was confirmed on Saturday evening that Serge Gnabry will face a long spell on the sidelines due to a torn adductor muscle in his right thigh.
With the injury casting serious doubt over Gnabry’s participation in the upcoming World Cup, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has expressed his support for the attacker.
"I feel very sorry for Serge. This is particularly bitter news at the end of the season, with so many big and important matches coming up," Nagelsmann told SID.
“I told him that we in the national team are all behind him. We will all support him in the best way possible so that he can get back on the pitch as soon as possible.”
According to Bild, the injury is expected to sideline Gnabry for two to three months.
Germany will play their first game at the World Cup against Curaçao on June 14.
