EM-Aus nach Kopftreffer! Die Dänin Emma Snerle (24) muss das EM-Turnier verlassen.

Overview

  • Denmark’s Emma Snerle was removed from Euro 2025 following a head collision in Basel that preceded Germany’s 2–1 win.
  • Danish coach Andrée Jeglertz and players argue referee Catarina Campos should have stopped play under IFAB Rule 5 after Snerle’s head impact.
  • UEFA’s 2021 Concussion Charter and the DFL’s 2023/24 head-injury protocol require immediate medical assessment for suspected brain trauma.
  • Officials confirmed VAR cannot intervene in non-foul head injuries, leaving such decisions solely to the on-field referee.
  • No retrospective VAR review or disciplinary measures have been taken and the match result remains in place amid ongoing calls for clearer enforcement of concussion rules.
