"Edna Imade sits relaxed on a workout bench, her hands on her thighs, her trainers firmly planted on the floor. The soft light of the Spanish January sun streams through the windows of the gym, bathing the room in a warm glow. Outside, beyond the palm trees and shimmering air, lies the pitch. Inside, there's a concentrated silence, broken only by the soft clinking of weights. Then her first words. "Hello, I'm Edna," she says. In German. Courageous and determined."
"A moment later, she laughs loudly, surprised at herself. A hearty laugh that fills the room. The 25-year-old has a presence that is not pushy, but inviting. She speaks very little German so far, just a few words, a few polite phrases such as thank you and please. But this sentence hits home. Three words that conceal a whole life."
"Back earlier than planned Edna joined up with the FC Bayern Women a few days ago. Six months before the original end of her loan spell, she's returned to her new club, where she signed her contract in the summer. Just the previous weekend, she had once again shown her class in Spain, scoring three goals in her loan club Real Sociedad San Sebastián's thrilling 5-5 draw with Atlético Madrid. A perfect farewell to the Basque Country."
Edna Imade returned to FC Bayern Women several days earlier than planned, cutting short her loan at Real Sociedad after scoring a hat-trick in a 5-5 draw with Atlético Madrid. The 25-year-old striker joined Bayern having signed a contract in the summer and now prepares for Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League competition. Training began at a camp in southern Spain near her family's hometown. She grew up in Carmona on the Río Guadalquivir. She speaks only a little German so far but received a warm welcome from her new team and looks forward to her time with the club.
