Captain Gwinn is currently sidelined due to a broken leg.
Giulia Gwinn, the captain and a key player for the German national team, was forced to leave the field in tears during the Euro 2025 opener against Poland. The incident occurred during a collision just before halftime, leaving the winger visibly emotional as she was assisted off the pitch by team staff[1][2].
Gwinn, who has a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, appeared to twist her knee during a tackle in the 40th minute of the match in St. Gallen[1][2]. The exact nature of her injury is yet to be confirmed, but she is scheduled for an MRI to assess the extent of the damage[1]. If the injury is another ACL issue, it would typically require a minimum recovery time of six months[1]. However, until further medical evaluation is conducted, her participation in the rest of the tournament remains uncertain[1][2].
Prior to her injury, Gwinn led the German team onto the field, demonstrating her importance to the team under coach Christian Wiegmann[3]. Carlotta Wamser replaced Gwinn during the match, but no information was provided about her replacement for the remainder of the game[2].
Gwinn, who plays for Bayern Munich, has previously missed months of play due to ACL injuries. The 27-year-old was seen sitting on the bench, grimacing in pain, before she was substituted[1]. The football community is hopeful for a speedy recovery for the talented winger, who has been a vital part of the German team's success in recent years.
