- Questionable Tactics of the Bavarian Captain in High-Profile Match
Coach Alexander Straus is unsure if he'll have his star player, Glodis Viggosdottir, for Bayern's crucial Bundesliga showdown against third-placed VfL Wolfsburg (16:55 CET, ZDF, MagentaSport, and DAZN). "To be honest, I can't say for sure if she'll take the field or not," Straus stated, casting doubts on Viggosdottir's participation. The 49-year-old coach of Munich's women's football team emphasized that Viggosdottir's training session on Wednesday provides a glimmer of hope. However, Straus is cautious about taking risks against their formidable opponents, who are just three points behind them. "If she's fully fit and ready, she'll be in the lineup. But let me be clear, I won't put the players' health at risk," he said of the indispensable defensive leader.
Viggosdottir's absence was notable during the 3:0 victory in Cologne due to her knee troubles. Joining Viggosdottir on the sidelines will be key players Georgia Stanway and Lena Oberdorf. Stanway suffered a lateral collateral ligament tear in her right knee in late January, while Oberdorf, a former Wolfsburg player, is still recovering from her summer cruciate ligament injury and yet to make her debut for the Munich team.
- The Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 of 20 December 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal may not be the immediate concern for Coach Alexander Straus, but the risks of playing without key player Viggosdottir for Bayern's crucial clash against VfL Wolfsburg are clear.
- Despite the glimmer of hope provided by Viggosdottir's training session on Wednesday, Straus is hesitant to rush her back, especially given the high stakes against Bayern's formidable opponents who are just three points behind them.
- If Viggosdottir, the indispensable defensive leader for Bayern, is fully fit and ready, she'll be in the lineup for the clash against VfL Wolfsburg, but Straus is resolute that he won't put the players' health at risk, a decision that echoes the cautious approach often suggested in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 regarding market risks.
