Ruled out of Supercup clash
Gnabry (thigh) will miss Saturday's Supercup against Borussia Dortmund due to his adductor tear, according to coach Vincent Kompany. "Lenny and Serge are not involved."
Analysis: Gnabry had shown noticeable physical improvement during a team training session earlier in the week, taking part in several exercises before sitting out the second half as Bayern continued his gradual buildup, but this update confirms he isn't quite ready for a competitive return following an injury that dates back to mid April. Lennart Karl is similarly unavailable due to a thigh muscle tear, leaving Bayern without both attacking options for the season curtain raiser against Dortmund.
Working on comeback
Gnabry is intensively working on his comeback following the torn adductor in his right thigh that made him miss the World Cup, the club announced.
Analysis: Gnabry had already confirmed he would miss the World Cup due to the injury, with the recovery timeline set at three to four months when initially sustained in early April. The winger ended his Bundesliga season with eight goals and six assists across 21 appearances for Bayern Munich, adding two goals and five assists in the Champions League, and will continue his rehabilitation work with the aim of returning for preseason ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Will miss World Cup
Gnabry (thigh) confirmed he won't be ready in time to play for Germany in the World Cup as he's set to spend 3-4 months on the sidelines, Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports reports.
Analysis: Gnabry will now remain unavailable for the rest of the 2025/26 season and the upcoming international competition due to the adductor tear he suffered in early April. This implies that players such as Jamal Musiala and Raphael Guerreiro will take on increased attacking roles for Bayern in the final stages of the campaign, while both Musiala and Leroy Sane could be more active with the national team. Gnabry finished the Bundesliga season with eight goals and six assists throughout 21 appearances (16 starts). Additionally, he scored twice and provided five assists in Champions League play.
