“The main thing is not to be there. But if we travel, we will also travel together, then he will come with us, ”said the 28-year-old in the Sky interview. This will “change nothing” from their focus. It is “definitely a big goal”.
If she could take part in the World Cup in the summer (July 20 to August 20), she would “still be a footballer,” emphasized Leupolz: “If we have free time, then I’ll also enjoy the time with them there.” Last year, goalkeeper Almuth Schult, who is currently pregnant again, had her twins with her at the European Championships in England.
First of all, Leupolz could play her first international match after maternity leave against Brazil on Tuesday (6 p.m. / ARD) in Nuremberg. The 75-time Chelsea international, who last played for the DFB team against Portugal in November 2021, also has her six-month-old son with her on the current course.
“It would be nice if it worked out in a few minutes,” said Leupolz, who missed Friday’s game against the Netherlands in Sittard (1-0) due to a broken nose. The nose is now doing “very well. It was a bit of a shock, but I took it well,” she said. “I have a mask that I’m totally ready for.”
