Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry is likely to miss the rest of the season after tearing the adductor muscle in his right thigh, the club announced Saturday. The 30-year-old will be out "for a longer period," putting his World Cup participation for Germany in serious doubt. Bayern provided no further details on the timeline for his return, though it appears he'll miss their remaining games as they chase a treble of trophies.

Gnabry's absence comes at a critical juncture. Bayern can clinch the Bundesliga title on Sunday unless they lose at home to Stuttgart, though they would have four more rounds to secure it. They then face Bayer Leverkusen away in the German Cup semifinals on Wednesday before turning attention to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals. This season, Gnabry contributed eight goals and seven assists as Bayern broke the Bundesliga record for goals scored last weekend.

For Germany, Gnabry started every World Cup qualifier and both March friendlies, making him a central figure in coach Julian Nagelsmann's plans for the tournament in Mexico, Canada and the United States. His injury leaves a significant void in the German attack just months before the World Cup begins.
