Germany coach Nagelsmann raises risk of serious injuries on slippery Frankfurt field at Euro 2024
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann is anxious about players getting serious injuries on Sunday in Frankfurt on the slippery turf that was laid several months ago after NFL games in the stadium.
Nagelsmann raised the risk of ACL injuries when Germany plays Switzerland needing to avoid defeat to confirm finishing top of Group A at the European Championship.
The Waldstadion field in rainy Frankfurt cut up badly in two previous games at Euro 2024 - Belgium’s 1-0 loss to Slovakia then a 1-1 draw between England and Denmark, who played under a closed roof.
“I’m not worried about the footballing aspect, more about the danger of injury to the players,” Nagelsmann said on Saturday in translated comments.
“Players such as (Jude) Bellingham we saw had problems and they risked serious injury. If you slip you really risk getting injured,” the Germany coach said of the England star who had a subdued game on Thursday.
