VfL Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Stina Johannes is sidelined due to a facial injury. She will miss the upcoming Bundesliga match against 1. FC Nürnberg.
Stina Johannes, the 25-year-old goalkeeper for VfL Wolfsburg, suffered a facial fracture during a Champions League match against Real Madrid. The injury happened after a collision with opponent Iris Santiago, who was later sent off following a video review.
Johannes will not be able to play in the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Nürnberg. Wolfsburg's coach, Stephan Lerch, confirmed her absence for this weekend's match. The length of her recovery is still unknown and will depend on how her condition improves.
In Johannes's absence, Martina Tufekovic will start as goalkeeper. Tufekovic, aged 31, joined Wolfsburg from TSG Hoffenheim this summer. She will make her league debut for Wolfsburg in the season finale match on Saturday in Nürnberg, which begins at 2:00 PM.
