VfL Wolfsburg will have to do without DFB captain Alexandra Popp in the top game against league leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday. As head coach Tommy Stroot announced at the press conference on Friday, the attacker is not an option for the game on Saturday (5.45 p.m./ARD, DAZN, MagentaSport). The 32-year-old has been suffering from knee problems since the 2-1 defeat at TSG Hoffenheim last Friday.

“Alex wasn’t on the training pitch today. There were signs of it and we tried everything,” said the 35-year-old: “But we didn’t want to do anything stupid or risk anything.” Popp has already contributed five goals and nine assists this season, making her the joint top scorer in the league.
It is even more important for VfL that Ewa Pajor is there. The league’s top scorer (ten goals) also recently had knee problems and was questionable for the top game. Wolfsburg is currently in second place and is four points behind the Bavarian defending champions.
