Germany forward Serge Gnabry says his 'World Cup dream' is over

Germany forward Serge Gnabry has ruled himself out of the World Cup after tearing a muscle in his right thigh while training with Bayern Munich.

Bayern said on Saturday that Gnabry had torn the adductor muscle in his thigh and would be out “for a longer period” without giving any further details.

Gnabry has confirmed on Instagram that he’ll miss the World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States in June.

He writes, “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.” Germany faces Curacao, Ivory Coast and Ecuador in Group E.
