Red Flame Hannah Eurlings faces months out after ankle surgery

Red Flame Hannah Eurlings suffered an ankle injury during a training match with her Duitse club FC Union Berlin, and the forward has now undergone surgery, meaning she faces a months‑long rehabilitation and will miss the almost certain crucial double‑header for World Cup qualification.

The injury occurred in a friendly match, confirming that it was not a competitive fixture. The club’s medical report identified it as an ankle sprain.

She subsequently underwent surgery, and doctors have indicated that the rehabilitation will keep her out for several months. The procedure was performed promptly after the injury was diagnosed.

Her sidelining deprives the Red Flames of a key attacking option ahead of the decisive two‑leg tie that will decide their World Cup qualification. The national team now must adjust its forward line for the upcoming matches.

The contrast between a routine training session and a season‑altering setback underscores how quickly the Red Flames’ qualification hopes can be jeopardised by injury.
