Arm injury: Latest on Serge Gnabry’s condition | OneFootball

Serge Gnabry sustained an arm injury during the 0-2 defeat against Slovakia. Now there is an update on the striker’s fitness status.

In recent weeks, Serge Gnabry’s form curve at FC Bayern has been on a strong upward trend. As a result, the 30-year-old was nominated by Julian Nagelsmann for the two World Cup qualifying matches. Against Slovakia, however, the entire team delivered a weak performance—resulting in a 0-2 defeat. According to dpa, Gnabry suffered an arm injury during the match against Slovakia and therefore played the second half with an arm brace.

Nevertheless, the attacking all-rounder will be available for the match against Northern Ireland. The Nagelsmann team will host the Northern Irish in Cologne (8:45 p.m.).

Gnabry Planned as Musiala Replacement at Bayern

At Bayern, it appears that Gnabry will continue to serve as the replacement for the injured Jamal Musiala in the coming weeks. Most recently, the right-footer played in the central attacking midfield alongside Michael Olise and Luis Díaz. However, it will be interesting to see how Nicolas Jackson is integrated into the offense.

In a recent interview, the Bayern star spoke about his future. Gnabry explained: “It’s open. There haven’t been any talks yet, so there’s nothing to think about. I haven’t seen myself as a candidate for sale. No one has told me that I should pack my things.” The national player’s current contract runs until 2026.

Regarding his favorite position, he also said: “There is more freedom in the center, which has worked very well recently. I already played there in my youth, also with the national team. It doesn’t really feel new. It’s both a blessing and a curse to be able to play multiple positions. I can bring my qualities to the wing, the number ten, and the number nine.”
