"The captain of the German women's national team suffered an ligament injury in her left knee in the team's opening match against Poland on Friday," said the DFB in a statement on their website.

"She (Gwinn) is expected to be out for several weeks."

The full-back left the pitch in St Gallen after 40 minutes following a defensive challenge against Poland's Ewa Pajor.

She initially tried to retake the field before leaving in tears, embraced by team-mate Lea Schueller -- one of two second-half goalscorers for the Euro 2022 runners-up as they won 2-0.

Gwinn, 26, has already ruptured cruciate ligaments in both knees, with the second ACL injury causing her to miss the World Cup two years ago.

Germany, bronze medallists at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, are one of the favourites for the European Championship, alongside holders England and world champions Spain.
