Overview

• Oberdorf suffered a confirmed rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee, will undergo surgery on Tuesday, and faces a multi‑month absence.
• The injury occurred in Bayern’s 5–1 win over 1. FC Köln after a 20th‑minute collision with Adriana Achcińska, with Oberdorf leaving in tears and her knee heavily bandaged.
• The setback ends plans for her national‑team return this week, and coach Christian Wück has adjusted his squad for France by calling up Linda Dallmann.
• Bayern officials voiced support, with director Bianca Rech issuing a statement, while Oberdorf posted “Until we meet again” on Instagram and teammates sent messages of encouragement.
• The case adds to Bayern’s mounting injuries, including ACL tears for Sarah Zadrazil and Barbara Dunst, and feeds a wider discussion about rising knee injuries and player workload in the women’s game.
