Alexandra Popp

ANALYSIS
Popp will leave Germany without one of their star players Tuesday, as she will miss out on their semifinal bout due to an infection she picked up this week. This will be something to monitor moving forward if Germany advances, as she is their captain and had started in the four matches prior. She was replaced in the team by Nicole Anyomi and will look for a quick recovery to full fitness, hoping her team gives her another match at the Olympics.
