Alternative Decision for Team Members:
German football star Giulia Gwinn is making a comeback to the field, potentially as early as this weekend, after recovering from a knee injury sustained during the Euros this summer. The right defender for both Bayern Munich and the German national team has shown resilience in the past, having fought her way back twice after a cruciate ligament rupture.
Gwinn, the captain of the DFB, has been a vital leader from the sidelines on the way to the semi-finals of the ongoing season. However, she missed the first three games of the Munich team this season due to her injury. Now, she could potentially be an option for the squad of the double winners Bayern Munich, as they prepare for the first leg of the semi-finals against TSG Hoffenheim in Duesseldorf on October 24. The game will be broadcast on ARD at 17:45 CET.
The semi-final return match will take place four days later in Caen, France. Gwinn's return to action could not come at a better time, as the German national team will face France in the Nations League semi-finals. The location for the return match is Caen, and the match will be broadcast on October 28 at 21:00 CET.
However, it's important to note that Gwinn is not yet fully fit, having sustained an injury to the inner ligament of her left knee during the first EM game of the German women's team against Poland. No information about her involvement in the Nations League matches was provided.
Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga, Gwinn might return to the field in the league game against Carl Zeiss Jena on Saturday at 14:00 CET. The game can be watched on DAZN and MagentaSport. No information about the health status or injuries of other players was provided.
Gwinn's return to the field could mark a significant boost for both Bayern Munich and the German national team, as they aim to secure their places in the finals of their respective competitions. Her leadership and defensive prowess will undoubtedly be missed on the field, and her return will no doubt be welcomed by fans and teammates alike.
