Bayern Munich's club website issued a release on the injury: Lena Oberdorf tore the cruciate ligament in her right knee in FC Bayern Women's Bundesliga game against Köln, as confirmed following an examination on Monday. The 23-year-midfielder will have an operation on Tuesday and be out of action for several months. It's her second cruciate ligament tear in her right knee, having also suffered the injury in 2024.

Each team will meet two random teams from each pot in a league system, rather than be separated into groups. The eighteen participanst will play six games each, with the top four advancing to the knockout stage, and the next eight to the knockout playoffs, where the four winners will follow the top four to the quarterfinals. From then, the tournament follows its usual two-legged knockout format, culminating in a one-off final, which will be held in Oslo.
