Further staff worries are coming to national coach Christian Wück. Dilot player Sarai Linder will not be available in the next game.

The German national team will have to do without Sarai Linder in the European Championship semi-final against Spain on Wednesday (from 9 p.m. in the LiveTicker at T-Online): The defender “suffered a capsule band injury on the left ankle on Saturday in the quarter-finals against France,” said the DFB on Sunday evening. Thus, it definitely fails for the game against the title fashion. “Use in a possible European Championship final is still open,” it says in the message.

Linder was already injured on the ground against France in the fourth minute after a duel with the French-Antoinette Katoto, sat on the sidelines for minutes while the DFB supervisor team took care of her. Her ankle was tapped, then she tried to continue playing. But it didn’t work – Linder had to be replaced, for her Sophia Kleinhernen came into play.
