Women's European Championship: How the German women's team intends to compensate for Giulia Gwinn's absence – Now more than ever!

The most likely option for the right-back position in the group match against Denmark is Carlotta Wamser. Even before the tournament began, she was earmarked as Gwinn's backup and was substituted on for the injured captain. Wamser performed well against Poland and gave national coach Wück no reason to make further changes against Denmark. After the victory, he was literally in raptures and saw his decision to rely on the 21-year-old vindicated: "Those who were surprised that she was included in this squad saw why today." Wamser only made her debut for the German national team at the end of May. She has never started for the national team. However, the truth is also that the Poles are nominally the weakest opponents in the group, so it stands to reason that Wamser will be more challenged defensively in the future. However, her teammate Laura Freigang dispelled any doubts about the defensive qualities of the trained winger: "She puts a lot of pressure on the attack, but also wins one-on-one duels at the back and is incredibly fast."
