Shock for the German soccer players immediately before the European Championship final against England: Captain Alexandra Popp has to pass at short notice due to muscular problems. But Lea Schüller was in the starting line-up.
Popp is the German team’s top scorer at the European Championships with six goals, and she scored twice in the 2-1 semi-final against France. The DFB announcement only came eight minutes before kick-off. Popp will be replaced as captain by Svenja Huth.
Otherwise, national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg trusts all players who were in the starting XI against France.
