MUNICH — Bayern Munich’s forward Serge Gnabry is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season, casting doubt on his participation in the World Cup for Germany.
On Saturday, Bayern announced that Gnabry has suffered a torn adductor muscle in his right thigh, and he will be out for an extended period.

The club did not provide additional details about the severity of his injury or the timeline for his recovery. However, it is likely that Gnabry will be absent for the remainder of the season as Bayern aims for a treble of titles.
Bayern is set to secure the Bundesliga title on Sunday unless they are defeated at home by Stuttgart, after which they would have four additional matches to clinch the trophy.
Next, Bayern will visit Bayer Leverkusen for the German Cup semifinals on Wednesday, before shifting focus to their Champions League semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain.
During the season, Gnabry has been instrumental, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists as Bayern set a Bundesliga record for total goals last weekend.
He has started every World Cup qualifier for Germany and participated in two friendlies in March, making him a key component of coach Julian Nagelsmann’s plans for the upcoming tournament in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
