Germany running out of defenders to face tournament favorite Spain at Euro 2025
ZURICH (AP) — Germany defender Sarai Linder has been ruled out of her team's Women's European Championship semifinal against Spain, leaving the eight-time champion short of defenders against the tournament favorites. Linder 'sustained a capsular ligament injury to her left ankle' in the quarterfinal win over France, the German soccer federation said late Sunday. The Wolfsburg left back was injured in a tussle with French forward Marie-Antoinette Katoto. She received lengthy treatment and tried continuing with a bandage around the ankle but had to go off in the 20th minute in obvious pain. Germany was already without injured right back Giulia Gwinn, the team captain who sustained a knee injury in the team's opening game, while defender Kathrin Hendrich's red card against France for pulling Griedge Mbock Bathy's hair means she's suspended for the game against Spain. Midfielder Sjoeke Nüsken is also suspended after receiving her second yellow card of the tournament against France. Bayer Leverkusen defender Carlotta Wamser, who was sent off in the final group game against Sweden, could return after serving her suspension against France. ___ AP soccer: The Associated Press

Germany's bid to host women's Euro 2029 leaves out Berlin
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Germany's bid to host the women's European Championship in 2029 is set to leave out the capital city of Berlin. Germany announced eight cities including Munich, Dortmund and Cologne that will host games if its bid is successful. Berlin was among three cities that didn't make the cut. 'The selected venues represent the best combination for a successful international bid to UEFA,' the German soccer federation said in a statement, adding that it made decisions based on economic factors, regional balance and UEFA requirements. The announcement comes as Switzerland is set to host Euro 2025 next month. UEFA has said it will choose the host for Euro 2029 this December. It would be the third time that eight-time European champion Germany has officially hosted the event, but the first since 2001. Back then, only eight teams took part, half of the current number. Germany also hosted the tournament in 1989 and held the final in 1995, when it wasn't the official host because games were split among participating countries. UEFA said last year it had also received declarations of interest for Euro 2029 from Italy, Poland and Portugal, as well as a joint bid by Denmark and Sweden. ___ AP soccer:
