In his message, he reflected on a challenging few days and referenced Bayern's season, noting the Bundesliga title was secured again at the weekend with more matches still to play.

He will support the national team from home and will now focus on recovery and preparation for pre-season, thanking supporters for their messages.

Gnabry has endured a rough run with Germany, also missing Euro 2024 and the 2018 World Cup with separate injuries.
