RB Leipzig, Union Berlin, and Hamburger SV face hard times this season. Injuries to key players hurt their results.
RB Leipzig's women's team has had a tough season. They ended last year in eighth place. After 22 matches, they have 27 points from eight wins, three draws, and eleven losses.
The team lost key players like Vanessa Fudalla and Frederike Kempe in the summer. They added young players Diana Nemeth and Lisa Baum. But results stay up and down. They lost points to top teams, like 5-0 to Union Berlin and 4-3 to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Injuries hurt them more. Three main players got serious injuries. This broke their flow. Now, after 13 matches, they are tenth with 13 points. They need better attack to climb up.
Union Berlin won the 2. Bundesliga last year and moved up. This season, they are 11th with 12 points. They showed fight with wins like 5-0 over Leipzig.
They play strong defense and quick counters. But they struggle to hold the ball and score. Injuries keep key players out. Coach Ailien Poese changes the lineup often. This hurts team steadiness.
Hamburger SV moved up last season. This year started bad. They are second from bottom with 7 points after 13 matches. Injuries hit hard, like to goalkeeper Laura Sieger and defender Jaqueline Dönges.
They keep trying and have good fans, with about 6,000 at each match. But they scored just twelve goals so far. Their next game against SGS Essen is key to stay up.
