In a disappointing turn of events for Germany, Serge Gnabry has been officially ruled out of the upcoming 2026 World Cup due to a thigh injury. The injury, which he sustained during a recent match, has raised concerns about his fitness and availability for the national team.

Gnabry, who plays for Bayern Munich, has been a key player for Germany, contributing significantly to their attacking prowess. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as the team prepares for the prestigious tournament, which is set to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed the news, stating that Gnabry will not recover in time to participate in the World Cup. This injury comes at a crucial time, as the team is finalizing its squad and strategies for the tournament.
