Summary
Young German star Lennart Karl’s World Cup dreams are dashed after a thigh injury in Chicago, just weeks after lighting up Bayern Munich with nine goals and eight assists. The 18-year-old, seen as a key rising talent and potential starter, leaves Germany reeling — but coach’s praise for his energy and skill underscores his impact. Replacement Assan Ouedraogo steps in to bolster Leroy Sané’s wing, and despite the blow, Germany remains a heavy favorite, with supercomputer odds at 96% to advance. Their toughest test? Ecuador. Beyond that, a potential Round of 16 showdown with France looms — a massive hurdle, but Germany’s depth and pedigree still make a deep run possible.
