“Bitter-bought victory” against Poland for Gwinn injury

Gwinn injury overshadowed the EM start

“A bitter victory for us”

The start of the European Championship has succeeded in the DFB women. After the game, the topic was above all the violation of Giulia Gwinn. Your team is hoping for good news.

The tears in the eyes of Giulia Gwinn suggested bad things: at the European Championship start against Poland, the captain of the German national team had to be replaced in the first round. Gwinn had twisted his knee in a duel with Ewa Pajor – and was brought from the field by supervisors shortly afterwards.

How bad it is about 26-year-old, who has suffered a cruciate ligament tear twice in her career, has not yet been determined. The DFB announced that Gwinn will undergo an MRI examination on Saturday, which should bring a more precise diagnosis.

“It was a bitter victory for us,” said national coach Christian Wück after the game in the ARD interview. After the team circle, everyone went back to the cabin, gwinn had hugged and wished her good luck. Wück confirmed: “The knee is affected.” The national coach also said: “But she also prevented the goal and we have to count that.” You keep your fingers crossed that everything is not that bad.

Gwinn’s teammates also reacted to the violation of her captain after the final whistle. Jule Brand explained that Gwinn was a “very important player for us”. Following her replacement, a little kink in the team’s performance was noticed, according to the former Wolfsburg woman. “Now is the most important thing that hopefully it doesn’t look so bad for her.”

Carlotta Wamser, who came into the game for Gwinn, hit a similar notch. The Leverkusen woman was asked how it was for her to see Gwinn injured in the field. “This is not a nice feeling because she is very important for us because she is our captain,” said the 21-year-old. “We hope that it is not that bad and that she quickly gets back to us.”

Klara Bühl, who is not only in the DFB team with Gwinn, but also for FC Bayern in the field, asked her teammate courage. “We are all behind her, we are with her, we just keep your fingers crossed that we have that nothing bad comes out,” said the wing player. But she too did not want to get caught in speculation about the possible severity of the injury. “We still need patience – and then I hope that there is clarity,” said Bühl. It should be in the course of Saturday.
