Cruciate ligament rupture by Manuel Mohnl: DFB team in the crisis in front of EM!

Blankenhain, Deutschland - The anticipation of the EM 2024 is suddenly clouded by a shocking injury. Manuel Mohnl, the talented 19-year-old right-back from SC Hainfeld, contracted a cruciate ligament tear in the friendly against Kirchberg. "Bitter for Manuel, but of course also for us," complains coach Luif. Team colleague Marcel Ladan also fights with muscular problems, so that the situation in the squad is complicated. According to Luif, however, the squad is "very well staffed" to compensate for such setbacks, such as the online platform Noen reports .

In the meantime, the DFB team with national coach Julian Nagelsmann is intensively preparing for the upcoming challenges. In Thuringian Blankenhain, the players gathered for a training camp, where the preparations for the home tournament on June 14th are in full swing. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is missing due to an infection. In addition, Nagelsmann cannot immediately welcome all players: Captain Ilkay Gündogan and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen have not yet encountered FC Barcelona due to their obligations. Nagelsmann nominated the U21 international Brajan Gruda and Rocco Reitz at short notice to optimize the training processes, such as Eurosport reports .

The team expects the best conditions in the Spa & Golf Resort Weimarer Land.

With sensitive words, Nagelsmann looks at the current challenges and the hoped -for successes: "I hope that we can inspire the country with our games."
