Bayern produced a top performance last weekend to b eat Wolfsburg 3-1 away from home. Klara Bühl, Momoko Tanikawa and Alara Şehitler got the goals to send the defending champions clear at the top of the table. The Munich Frauen also chalked up an important win during the week as they got their first Champions League points of the season with a 2-1 victory at home to Juventus. Lea Schüller came off the bench to score the winner deep into added time.
FC Bayern Women defender Vanessa Gilles sustained a muscle injury in her lower leg in the DFB Cup match at Borussia Dortmund on Monday evening, scans have confirmed. The 29-year-old Canadian will therefore be sidelined for several weeks. Gilles moved to Munich in the summer and has scored three goals in six appearances in all competitions.
After more than ten weeks out following the third knee injury of her career, the 26-year-old Germany captain made her return to the pitch. It was a moment that meant far more than simply returning to playing duties. For Gwinn, it once again marked a return from isolation, from rehab, from the enforced role of observer. And once again proof of the sheer willpower she possesses.
