Overview
- Berger suffered an abdominal injury while playing for Gotham FC in the Concacaf W Champions Cup semi‑final against Club América and was substituted at halftime in the 1-4 loss.
- Gotham FC issued a statement saying Berger is being examined and cared for by medical staff and team doctors in Mexico but gave no diagnosis or recovery timeline.
- Media reports cited by AFP say Berger received on‑field treatment for minutes, was stretchered off and taken to hospital, though those details have not been confirmed by the club.
- The injury raises immediate questions about Berger’s role for Germany because she is the DFB’s current first‑choice goalkeeper and the national team has World Cup qualifying matches in early June.
- Berger is 35 and last played for Germany in April; further updates will depend on medical assessments and official statements from Gotham FC or the German federation.
