FC Bayern Women defender Vanessa Gilles sustained a muscle injury in her lower leg in the DFB Cup match at Borussia Dortmund on Monday evening, scans have confirmed. The 29-year-old Canadian will therefore be sidelined for several weeks. Gilles moved to Munich in the summer and has scored three goals in six appearances in all competitions.

After more than ten weeks out following the third knee injury of her career, the 26-year-old Germany captain made her return to the pitch. It was a moment that meant far more than simply returning to playing duties. For Gwinn, it once again marked a return from isolation, from rehab, from the enforced role of observer. And once again proof of the sheer willpower she possesses.
