Why Alexandra Popp is out of Germany's starting XI vs England in Women's Euro 2022 final

Alexandra Popp is out of Germany's starting XI to face England in the Women's Euro 2022 final at Wembley Stadium.

The striker suffered an injury in the warm-up, with Germany confirming on social media that she had ‘muscular problems’ and was forced to withdraw from the starting line-up and drop to the bench. Lea Schuller replaced Popp in the starting XI.

Popp, who plays domestically for Wolfsburg, is the joint-top scorer at this year’s Euros. She has scored six goals, the same number as England’s Beth Mead.
