Julian Nagelsmann backs Serge Gnabry as Bayern star faces World Cup race...
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann offered his support to Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry on Sunday, after injury put the winger’s World Cup hopes in doubt.
Bayern announced late Saturday that Gnabry will be sidelined for an “extended period” with an adductor strain.
The Bundesliga leaders did not specify a timeline for Gnabry’s return.
Several German media outlets reported Sunday that the former Arsenal forward faces two to three months out, putting him in doubt for the World Cup starting 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.
Nagelsmann, who coached Gnabry at Bayern, said he spoke with the 30-year-old on Saturday once the diagnosis was confirmed.

“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 hit form this season as part of a potent Bayern attack with Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. Bayern are into the Champions League and German Cup semi-finals, and could clinch the Bundesliga title as early as Sunday.
In 21 Bundesliga appearances this season, he has eight goals and seven assists, and was seen as a certainty for Nagelsmann’s World Cup squad if fit.
