#Gnabry #confirms #FIFA #World #Cup">Gnabry confirms he will miss FIFA World Cup 2026 Bayern Munich and Germany forward Serge Gnabry confirmed on Wednesday he will miss this summer’s FIFA World Cup with a thigh injury.
On Saturday, Bayern announced Gnabry was set to miss “an extended period” due to an adductor injury, with German media speculating it would rule him out of the 2026 tournament.
The 30-year-old said he would not play again this season, ruling himself out of the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
“The last few days have been tough to process. A Bayern season which still holds much to play for after securing another Bundesliga title on the weekend,” Gnabry wrote on social media.
“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.”
The former Arsenal player has been a regular member of Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann’s squad. He has scored 26 goals in 59 appearances for his country.

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann on Sunday threw his support behind Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry, who could miss the World Cup with injury.
Late on Saturday, Bayern announced Gnabry would be out for an “extended period” with an adductor strain.
The Bundesliga champion in waiting did not indicate how long Gnabry could be out for.
Several German media sources reported Sunday the one-time Arsenal forward would be out for two to three months which would mean missing the World Cup which starts on June 11.
“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 said in a statement to AFP subsidiary SID.
The coach, who also managed Gnabry while in charge of Bayern, said he spoke with the 30-year-old on Saturday once the diagnosis was clear.
“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.”
Gnabry has returned to form this season in a firing Bayern front line alongside Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. Bayern are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League and German Cup and can win the Bundesliga as early as Sunday.
In 21 league games this season, he has eight goals and seven assists and was considered a certainty to make Nagelsmann’s World Cup squad if fit.
