FC Bayern are richer by an injured player: Serge Gnabry has to be replaced early in the DFB Cup match in Münster.

Münster – FC Bayern take an early 1-0 lead in the DFB-Pokal first-round match at Preußen Münster. At the same time, however, Serge Gnabry is the next injured player.

In the 4th minute, Leon Goretzka played Gnabry high in the Münster penalty area. Gnabry is a tad faster on the ball than Johannes Schenk and crashes into the home goalkeeper in that scene. Gnabry apparently fell on his left arm.

The collision had consequences for the Bavarian winger, who initially held his injured arm for a long time and continued to play for a few minutes, but then had to be replaced in the eleventh minute. The young Frans Krätzig came into the game for Gnabry.

Sky commentator Wolff Fuss immediately had a bad suspicion: "And the forearm is now being examined very closely to see if something may have been broken."
