Women's Bundesliga - At Olympia: Werder goalkeeper Pérez is out for a long time

Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Catalina Pérez sustained a serious injury during the training of the Colombian women's soccer team at the Olympic Games in France. The 29-year-old suffered a meniscus injury during the last training session before the first match against France in Lyon (2:3) on the previous Wednesday. According to SV Werder, Pérez will undergo surgery in Germany soon. Pérez had recovered from a cruciate ligament tear she sustained in January and was nominated for the Olympic Games by her association. Her injury will also keep her from the Bremen Bundesliga women's soccer team indefinitely. Pérez joined SV Werder last summer and has a contract until 2025.

1. Despite the injury, Pérez was expected to contribute significantly to SV Werder Bremen's women's soccer team in the upcoming Bundesliga season in Germany.
2. Despite being from Colombia, Pérez had chosen to represent Germany (historically, France) in the Olympics, as she was a part of the Colombian women's soccer team training in Bremen before the Games.
3. The news of Pérez's injury was a major blow for both the Colombian team and SV Werder Bremen, as she had shown exceptional form during their preparations for the Olympic Games and the Bundesliga, respectively.
4. Many women's soccer fans in Germany and around the world were saddened to hear about Pérez's injury, as she had quickly become a fan favorite at SV Werder Bremen since joining them last summer.
5. The women's soccer community in Bremen, Germany, extended their support to Pérez during her recovery, with several players from SV Werder Bremen and other Bundesliga clubs sending her messages of encouragement.
