ÖFB team player Laura Wienroither has torn a cruciate ligament and has been out for months. Her club Arsenal confirmed this on Thursday. Wienroither sustained the injury in Arsenal’s 3-2 extra-time loss at home in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Wolfsburg on Monday.
For ÖFB team boss Irene Fuhrmann, the long forced break of the 24-year-old is another bad news, especially since Nuremberg legionnaire Lara Felix recently suffered a cruciate ligament rupture. “The last few days have not been easy to digest. Losing two players in the long term with a cruciate ligament rupture is not only not an easy situation for the players personally, but also for the entire team, ”said Fuhrmann in an association broadcast.
The failures would hurt in terms of the Nations League, said the national coach. “In defence, we’re facing major challenges after the latest developments.” Virginia Kirchberger (rehab) and Katharina Schiechtl (tendon problems) were also absent recently. In addition, captain Carina Wenninger announced the end of her career in mid-April.
