LONDON (Reuters) - Germany striker Lea Schuller has been ruled out of the Euro 2022 top of the table Group B match against Spain in Brentford on Tuesday after she tested positive for COVID-19, the national team said.
"A potential return to the squad will be decided together with UEFA in line with the necessary medical procedures," it added.
Schuller headed Germany's second goal in their opening 4-0 win over Denmark at Brentford's Community Stadium last Friday. Favourites Spain, who lost midfielder and Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas on the eve of the tournament after the captain suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in training, beat Finland 4-1 in their opening game.
Spain coach Jorge Vilda sympathised with Germany but doubted Schuller's absence would be a major factor. "Germany does not depend on any one player, they have a top class squad," he told reporters before a training session."I don't think it will change the match ... they have plenty of options."
