Sport Bild (via GGFN) reported over the weekend that Serge Gnabry suffered an adductor injury during last week’s Champions League match with Bayern Munich.

Whilst Bayern haven’t officially confirmed the exact timeline, they have confirmed the tear, and Sport Bild claim it will keep him out for three months.

If true, that would mean an early end to the club season, as well as probably missing the World Cup.

“This is very bitter news, especially at this stage of the season, with such big and important games coming up,” Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann said of the injury.

“We were in touch and I told him that everyone in the national team is behind him as well.

“We will all support him as best we can so that he can get back on the pitch as quickly as possible. Get well soon, Serge!”

Arsenal could yet meet Bayern Munich for a match this season, with the two teams both still involved in the Champions League.

There are no guarantees though, as the Gunners need to overcome Atletico Madrid and Bayern would need to eliminate holders Paris Saint-Germain for both to reach the final.

If it does happen, it looks as though Gnabry won’t be available for a potential Champions League final against his old club. Which is a blow for Bayern, as he’s started seven of their 12 Champions League games so far including both legs of the quarter-finals, racking up six goal contributions.
