Football: Germany star Marozsan set for World Cup comeback

BERLIN: Germany and Olympique Lyon star Dzsenifer Marozsan is set to make a return to World Cup action in Saturday's last-eight clash with Sweden after missing three games with a broken toe, coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said on Tuesday .

The 27-year-old broke her toe in Germany's opening game, a 1-0 win against China, prompting fears that she might miss the rest of the tournament.Yet at a press conference on Tuesday, coach Voss-Tecklenburg said that she was"very optimistic" that Marozsan would return for Saturday's quarter-final. "We may decide on the day of the game whether Dzsenifer can play from the start or whether we will bring her on in the course of the game," said Voss-Tecklenburg, 51.

Marozsan returned to team training last week, and had considered playing in Germany's 3-0 win against Nigeria in the second round. "I told the coach that I am ready, but it was good that I didn't play. The more time I have, the more my toe can heal," she said after the game.Marozsan has scored 32 goals in 91 appearances for Germany, and has won three UEFA Champions League titles with Lyon.
