Residing Settlement for EM: Refusal to Shut the Entrance by Wake - Potential EM Employment for Oberdorf
Here's the lowdown on the possible participation of the Bayern star in the upcoming Euro 2024 football championship in Switzerland.
You might know her as Lena Oberdorf, the 23-year-old wonder from Bayern. Recently, Germany women's coach Christian Wueck has expressed his optimism that she might just step onto the field for Euro 2024, despite her July 2024 ACL injury.
During a chat with ARD on the sidelines of the DFB-Pokal final, Wueck said it'd be a foolish move to shut the door now. With eight weeks remaining, he believes there's still hope for progress from the midfielder. "She's in training, as the Bayern have said. Let's give her time to develop," Wueck, a 51-year-old former pro, said.
Germany's Euro 2024 campaign kicks off on July 4 in St. Gallen against Poland, followed by a match against Denmark in Basel on July 8. The third group clash against Sweden will take place in Zurich on July 12.
However, Bayern's Director of Women's Football, Bianca Rech, has expressed pessimism about Oberdorf's chances. Yet, Wueck remains hopeful.
It's worth mentioning that recent reports suggest that Oberdorf's participation in a European Championship this year might be uncertain. The context appears to reference the 2025 UEFA Women’s Under-17 EURO, not Euro 2024, as reported. Her recovery from the ACL injury is crucial, and she needs to complete full training without risks before returning to play.
Despite this, Wueck is banking on the idea that much can change in the remaining eight weeks. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Lena Oberdorf and the Germany team!
- Coach Christian Wueck expressed optimism that Lena Oberdorf, the Bayern star, might recover from her July 2024 ACL injury in time to play in the Euro 2024 football championship in Switzerland.
- During a recent conversation with ARD, Wueck stated that it would be unwise to rule out Oberdorf's participation in Euro 2024, as she is currently in training, according to Bayern.
- Despite Bayern's Director of Women's Football, Bianca Rech, expressing pessimism about Oberdorf's chances, Wueck remains hopeful that she could still recover and be ready for the tournament.
- The DFB (German Football Association) has not officially confirmed whether the reports indicating that Oberdorf's participation in Euro 2024 might be uncertain refer to the actual Euro 2024 or the 2025 UEFA Women’s Under-17 EURO; however, her recovery from the ACL injury is crucial, and she needs to complete full training without risks before returning to play.
