Germany defender Sarai Linder has been ruled out of her team’s Women’s European Championship semifinal against Spain.

Germany defender Sarai Linder will miss the women's Euro 2025 semi-finals against world champion Spain on Wednesday due to injury. Linder had to be subbed off in the quarter-final match against France and the German Football Federation (DFB) said in a statement on Sunday evening that she suffered a capsule and ligament injury to her left ankle.

Spain have advanced to the semi-final of the Women's Euros for the first time since 1997 after beating hosts Switzerland 2-0 in Bern. The 2023 World Cup winners took more than an hour to break through the home team's determined defence, with Mariona Caldentey missing a penalty in the ninth minute.
