Nüsken assumes the position of vice-captain within the women's soccer squad.

Following Giulia Gwinn's exit from the Euros due to a knee injury, Sjoeke Nüsken has been promoted to the role of vice-captain of the German women's football team. The team agreed without hesitation for Nüsken to take on this responsibility, marking a significant step in her career.

Gwinn, who has been a crucial member of the team both on and off the pitch, will be missed during the upcoming matches. However, her absence provides an opportunity for others to step up, and Nüsken is ready to take on this challenge.

In the second group game against Denmark, set to take place on Tuesday at 6:00 PM (ARD and DAZN), Carlotta Wamser will replace Gwinn at right-back. Wamser, who is set to join Bayer Leverkusen this summer, is known for her calm and composed style of play, with Sarai Linder commenting that she does not put too much pressure on herself.

Meanwhile, Janina Minge has already been designated as captain of the team, taking over the captain's armband from Gwinn when she was substituted against Poland. Minge, a midfielder like Nüsken, will lead the team alongside her new vice-captain, with Linda Dallmann expressing confidence that Gwinn will continue to motivate the team when she returns.

Nüsken, who plays for Chelsea, has made an impressive development in her football career, and her promotion to vice-captain is a testament to her dedication and hard work. The location of the second group game against Denmark is Basel, and fans are eagerly awaiting the team's performance without Gwinn.

Despite her injury, Gwinn remains an integral part of the team, and her cruciate ligament was not affected during her exit from the Euros. The team and fans alike wish her a speedy recovery, and look forward to her return to the pitch.

In the role vacated by Gwinn, Nüsken will also contribute significantly to the German women's football team, as she steps up to the vice-captaincy, a development symbolizing her growth in sports. With Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea being her respective clubs in soccer, Nüsken's style of play mirrors that of her new teammate, Wamser, who will be defending against Denmark.
