Surprise! Sporting’s first-choice goalkeeper is on the way out | OneFootball

Anna Welmann is on her way out of Sporting’s women’s football team. The 30-year-old German goalkeeper will not continue to defend the Lions’ goal, in what is expected to be a farewell after just one season in Alvalade.

According to newspaper 'A Bola', the farewell gains even more weight from the fact that the keeper was not included on the match sheet in the 2-1 win over Rio Ave, in the 16th round of the women’s league. In that match, Julia Wozniak was given the starting spot, with Catarina Potra on the bench.

This was the player’s first experience outside Germany, after a career spent in her home country. Before moving to Sporting, she stood out at Bayern Munich, where she won two league titles, as well as a Cup and a Super Cup.

In her career, she also played for clubs such as Kaufbeuren, Augsburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Turbine Potsdam, gaining experience in German football before accepting the challenge of playing in Portugal for the green-and-white club.
