MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich forward Serge Gnabry is likely to miss the rest of the season, putting his World Cup participation for Germany in doubt.
Gnabry tore the adductor muscle in his right thigh and will be out “for a longer period,” Bayern announced Saturday.
The club did not give any further details, leaving the extent of the injury and the timeline for the 30-year-old forward's return uncertain. But it seems he'll miss Bayern’s remaining games of the season as it chases a treble of trophies.
Bayern is likely to clinch the Bundesliga title on Sunday unless it loses at home to Stuttgart, in which case it will have another four rounds to secure the trophy.
Bayern then faces Bayer Leverkusen away in the German Cup semifinals on Wednesday, before it turns attention to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals.
Gnabry contributed eight goals and set up seven more as Bayern broke the Bundesliga record for goals scored last weekend.
He started every World Cup qualifier for Germany and two friendlies in March, and was sure to have been included in coach Julian Nagelsmann's plans for the tournament in Mexico, Canada and the United States.

Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time on Saturday at a child care center where they read to preschoolers and led a singalong.
The meeting comes as Mamdani, a democratic socialist who marked his 100th day in office just over a week ago, is also trying to build a working relationship with Republican President Donald Trump.
Obama and Mamdani did not take questions after reading the book “Alone and Together” to the children and leading a singalong of “The Wheels on the Bus.”
The former two-term president and standard-bearer for the Democratic Party has offered to be a sounding board for Mamdani, 34, whose star power, youth and progressive agenda has made him stand out in Democratic politics.
Mamdani took office in January after a campaign centered on making New York City a more affordable place to live, centering his agenda on refocusing the vast power of government toward helping the city’s struggling working class.
Mamdani has met twice with Trump at the White House in November and February to discuss issues affecting New York.
Despite those friendly meetings, their relationship has shown signs of strain recently, with Trump posting on social media Thursday that Mamdani was “DESTROYING New York” with his taxing policies and threatened to pull federal funding for the city.
