Schult picks up injury, Weiss recalled

Almuth Schult will leave the team headquarters tomorrow morning after injuring her foot in Germany’s World Cup qualifier against Slovenia. The initial diagnosis after an x-ray is that the Wolfsburg goalkeeper has not fractured anything. Further information should follow as she gets a second opinion in Wolfsburg. Lisa Weiß of SGS Essen was called up to take Schult’s place.

The German team will play their second qualifier on Tuesday in the Czech Republic. Head coach Steffi Jones said that “we don’t want to risk anything in this situation. It’s important that we take the necessary measures now to ensure the quickest possible recovery.”
