Germany exceeded a bad start to achieve a 2-0 comfortable victory over Poland in the Women's Eurocup on Friday. However, the victory was overshadowed by what seemed to be another serious knee injury of the team's captain, Giulia Gwinnwho was helped to get out of the field in tears just before the break.
Right moment in which Gwinn injures his left knee
Gwinn, who has suffered twice lesions of the anterior cross ligament (LCA), was distressed after twisting his leg by preventing what seemed an almost certain goal from Poland and had to be replaced in the 40th minute by Carlotta Wamser, who debuted as a defense in the Eurocup without any problem. “The worst thing we can do is speculate,” the German coach, Christian Wück told the press. “Tomorrow at 9:00 or 10:00 h is magnetic resonance and doctors can tell us more. I didn't see the incident, I just know that he avoided an almost certain goal.”

Many of Gwinn's teammates seemed in shock and went to comfort it before they helped her out of the field five minutes before the break, but Wueck said they concentrated quickly again. At the end of the game, they gathered briefly before running towards the costume tunnel. “We went to see Giulia. I told them: 'We are going straight to see her, hug her and talk to her,' and then we could return to the court,” Wueck explained.
