Germany's Goalkeeper Battle Intensifies Ahead of Nations League Clash

Ann-Katrin Berger faces competition from younger rivals as coach Christian Wück delays decision on Germany's starting goalkeeper for the European Championship.

Ann-Katrin Berger, Germany's Olympic bronze medalist and 2024 Footballer of the Year, is competing to retain her starting spot as goalkeeper for the national team.
Coach Christian Wück has declared the decision on Germany's starting goalkeeper for the European Championship in July will remain open until April.
Berger faces challenges from younger contenders, including Stina Johannes (25) and Ena Mahmutovic (21), as she prepares for a Nations League match against Austria on Tuesday.
Sophia Winkler, another rival for the position, has been ruled out due to a severe knee injury sustained during training, while Mala Grohs is returning to fitness after battling cancer.
Former first-choice goalkeeper Merle Frohms retired from international football after the Olympics, leaving the position highly competitive among Germany's talented options.
