ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (AP) — Germany captain Giulia Gwinn has been forced off injured in the first half of the eight-time winner’s Women’s European Championship opener against debutant Poland.
The Bayern Munich winger needed treatment after a last-ditch tackle to stop Poland captain Ewa Pajor and indicated she was fit to continue, but she lay down on the field shortly after going back on and left in tears after hugging teammates.
Gwinn was replaced by Carlotta Wamser in the 40th minute, when the game was still scoreless.
Sweden defeated Denmark 1-0 in the other Group C match earlier.
