With Sydney Lohmann returning, the FC Bayern Munich footballers want to use their last chance for the title in the semi-final of the DFB Cup against VfL Wolfsburg. The 21-year-old national player can play again on April 17 (12.30 p.m. / ARD) after Corona quarantine.
The Munich women are also hoping for revenge for the 6-0 loss in the Bundesliga two weeks ago. “I’m very hopeful that we can show our true colors. That’s why we’re really looking forward to this game,” said coach Jens Scheuer before the game between the champions and the cup winners.
There is a question mark over Jovana Damnjanovic’s commitment: The striker scored twice in Serbia’s 3-2 coup against Germany in World Cup qualifying, but has a damaged ankle. In addition to midfielder Lohmann, other players are back after a compulsory Corona break. But FC Bayern has the next failure in the goalkeeper position: Cecilia Runarsdottir broke her hand in training. Laura Benkarth has been missing for a long time due to a knee injury. Scheuer left open whether Maria Luisa Grohs or Janina Leitzig would be between the posts. Defense chief Marina Hegering (rehabilitation training) is also missing.
In the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg is four points ahead and clearly on course for the championship. In the Champions League, the Scheuer team lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals. Munich has only won the DFB Cup once (2012). The final is on May 28 in Cologne, the second finalist will be determined on Monday between Bayer Leverkusen and Turbine Potsdam.
