Overview

  • Giulia Gwinn will miss the remainder of the Women’s Euro group stage after suffering an interior knee ligament injury and has left the Germany camp for treatment in Munich.
  • Jamal Musiala faces surgery in Munich for a fractured fibula and damaged ligaments and is expected to be sidelined for several months, ruling him out of Bayern’s season opener and Germany’s early World Cup qualifiers.
  • Bayern officials Max Eberl and Manuel Neuer described the collision with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as overly risky but stopped short of accusing him of intent.
  • The German Football Association confirms that Gwinn aims to rejoin the national squad for the third group match against Sweden on July 12 after completing her rehabilitation.
  • Bayern Munich has accelerated its transfer plans to bolster the attack, with VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade emerging as a leading candidate to cover Musiala’s absence.
