That Serge Gnabry would miss the World Cup had already become apparent in recent days. Since today, it has sadly been confirmed.

The World Cup dream “is unfortunately over for me,” the 30-year-old wrote on Instagram a few hours ago. “Like the rest of the country, I’ll be supporting the boys from home,” Gnabry said.

As a result, a great deal of responsibility now falls on Jamal Musiala, both in the German national team and in Munich.

The playmaker, who was sidelined for a long time with injury in recent months and then struggled to rediscover his form, is the obvious replacement for his teammate.

And right on time for the decisive stage of the season, Musiala really does seem to be hitting top form again. After already recording four goal contributions in his last three matches, he has just set up Harry Kane for the 1-0 in the DFB-Pokal semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bambi is truly back in full flow. That is very good news both for Bayern’s title ambitions and for those of the German national team!
