It’s a tough blow for Bayern star Raphael Guerreiro (30) as he was not selected for the upcoming EURO 2024 in Germany. The Portuguese national team announced their squad on Tuesday, and the Munich player was left out due to a ligament and capsule injury sustained in a recent match against Stuttgart (1:3). Unfortunately, Guerreiro won’t recover in time for the tournament, which led to his exclusion from the team.
Guerreiro has faced a challenging season, dealing with multiple injuries since joining Bayern from Dortmund last summer. The versatile player struggled with muscular issues throughout his time in Germany, with a total of 20 muscle injuries during his Bundesliga career. Aside from Guerreiro, Bayern will also miss Serge Gnabry (28) at the EURO 2024 due to a hamstring injury suffered during the Champions League semifinal match against Real Madrid (1:2). It’s a setback for Germany as Gnabry’s dynamic performances were showcasing his potential impact in the tournament.
On a brighter note, England captain Harry Kane (30) managed to secure his spot in the national team despite facing back problems. Kane left Munich for treatment before the Hoffenheim game (2:4) but remains determined to represent his country at the upcoming tournament. His inclusion brings relief to the English fans, as they can count on his leadership and skill on the field during EURO 2024.
