St Gallen (Switzerland), Jul 5 (AP) Germany captain Giulia Gwinn suffered an apparent knee injury in a 2-0 opening win against debutant Poland at the Women's European Championship here.

The Bayern Munich winger needed treatment after a last-ditch tackle to stop Poland captain Ewa Pajor in the 36th minute on Friday.

A team medical officer indicated Gwinn was fit to continue but she lay down on the field shortly after going back on and left in tears after hugging teammates.

Gwinn previously had two cruciate ligament injuries. She missed the 2023 World Cup while she recovered the second time.
