SYDNEY : Germany's quest to capture their third Women's World Cup has suffered a blow with the loss of Felicitas Rauch to a knee injury, but coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is confident her squad will rally to fill the defender's void in their game against Colombia on Sunday.
The second-ranked Germans thrashed Morocco 6-0 in their opening game, the most lopsided match so far in the tournament. Colombia opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over South Korea. Voss-Tecklenburg, who was appointed Germany's coach in 2019 after six years with Switzerland, believes her team can grow from the challenge.
