When the Austrian women drew 1-1 with Iceland in their Euro qualifier last Friday, she was in goal. Many Arsenal fans were hoping to see her play in the upcoming match on Tuesday, but unfortunately, she won’t be able to.
Gooners must be curious about her reason for leaving the camp, hoping it’s not due to any injuries. Many people attribute her decision to withdraw to the news that her wife, Madeleine, is pregnant.

That said, at Arsenal women next season, Zinsberger is in for a tough competition to maintain her No. 1 status. Last season’s backup, Sabrina D’Angelo, has departed, leading to rumours of bringing in a new custodian. Daphne van Domselaar, Villa’s Dutch custodian, has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
We will have to wait and see what transpires…..
