Ahead of the tournament, the defender opened up on what she has had to deal with on social media.
In her new autobiography, Gwinn revealed: "I constantly receive photos of naked men.
"So-called penis pics. This kind of stuff constantly pops up in my Instagram inbox. The photos are always from anonymous accounts.
"I delete the photos and messages, and I report the accounts. It's just plain bad harassment."
Having suffered with a cruciate ligament injury, Gwinn was offered a lucrative deal to pose for Playboy in 2023.
The German star called the offer "very tempting" - but instead decided: "I prefer to present myself as a footballer on the field."
Gwinn has since received further offers from the magazine, but has stuck to her stance.
The Bayern Munich star added: "They're beautiful and aesthetic photos, no doubt.

"But they're not for me. Posting a bikini photo on my account is fine, but anything else exceeds my personal limits."
Gwinn, who has more than 600,000 Instagram followers, remains on Playboy Germany boss Florian Boitin's radar.

He said: "Giulia Gwinn is not only an outstanding athlete, but also a beautiful young woman. So a personality like her is naturally interesting for Playboy."
Gwinn recovered from her nasty knee injury to reclaim her spots with both Bayern and the German national team.
She scored twice at last summer's Olympic Games as Germany won bronze.
While she also netted as her side beat England 4-3 at Wembley last October.
Germany will begin their Euro 2025 campaign against Poland in St Gallen on July 4.
They will then face further group stage tests against Denmark and Sweden.

Lousie Redknapp, 50, wows fans as she shows off her toned body in a bikini on girls' holiday
She recently spoke to The Sun about her new relationship POP BEAUTY Lousie Redknapp, 50, wows fans as she shows off her toned body in a bikini on girls' holiday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOUISE Redknapp wowed fans as she posed in a bikini top on her girls' holiday to New York. The 50-year-old star shared a snap of herself enjoying the sunny weather in the Big Apple. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Louise Redknapp looked stunning in holiday snaps from New York Credit: Instagram 5 Her and a pal stripped off in the Big Apple Credit: Instagram 5 Louise posted photos from her rooftop pool Credit: Instagram Throwing her hands in the air, Louise flaunted her toned figure in the top and low cut shorts. She captioned her shots: "A little girls trip with Sue." Fans were quick to comment on her holiday snaps, with one saying: "Wow u look incredible". Another said: "Still stunning after all these years!" Louise found love again almost two years ago with boyfriend Drew, 41. Since then, they've appeared inseparable, often enjoying music events and spending their summers attending festivals, including Glastonbury and Boardmasters. If Louise hasn't been going to festivals, she's been performing at them, with the singer launching a comeback with her Greatest Hits celebrating her career to date. She's also just released her fifth solo album Confessions. The Strictly winner was with ex Jamie Redknapp for 20 years and they share two sons. 'What's great is (Drew) is brilliant on a friendship level with the boys,' she told The Sun last month. Louise Redknapp says she felt 'the lowest a human could get' when she split from husband Jamie and 'almost gave up' 'They get on great with him. And that, for me, is super-important. There's just a real mutual respect there. Obviously Beau is still at school, but we spend a lot of time together.' The nine-year age gap inevitably led to Drew being described as her 'toyboy' and Louise being referred to as a 'cougar'. But it's 'water off a duck's back,' she added. 'For me, age is irrelevant – within reason – but he's not 22. I think it's more about the person and the life experiences and the connection that's important.' However, Louise isn't thinking about walking down the aisle a second time. 'Oh, I'm not even thinking that far ahead. I'm not even going there. Manifesting is a real hint to Drew. 'I'm not going to lie and say it isn't. But it's also a life lesson to be present in the here and now, so I'm not thinking down the line. I'm enjoying my relationship, my kids, my album and my life." After their split her ex Jamie went on to marry model Frida Andersson in 2021. 5 Louise with boyfriend Drew Credit: Instagram

Jordan Pickford's England No.1 spot under greater threat than ever before as Thomas Tuchel issues warning
England boss Thomas Tuchel is also impressed with three other goalkeepers PICK OF THE BUNCH Jordan Pickford's England No.1 spot under greater threat than ever before as Thomas Tuchel issues warning Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JORDAN PICKFORD has clung on to England's No.1 jersey without breaking sweat for seven years. But manager Thomas Tuchel — who officially took over on New Year's Day — warned that reputations are out the window in the build-up to next year's World Cup. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Everton star Jordan Pickford's No1 spot at England is at risk 5 England boss Thomas Tuchel is not afraid to make drastic changes ahead of the 2026 World Cup And that put 75-cap star Pickford, 31, on notice that he now faces a battle to keep his spot. That is despite claiming the Everton ace is back to his best after the return of boss David Moyes to the Toffees. Dean Henderson, fresh from helping Crystal Palace to their historic FA Cup win last month, has just two England caps but will now provide some stiff competition over the next 12 months. There are high hopes for Burnley youngster James Trafford, who has also spent the week at the Three Lions' training camp in Girona. Southampton veteran Aaron Ramsdale — although not selected for this squad — is liked by Tuchel. But the 27-year-old needs to find a top-flight club in England or elsewhere following Saints' relegation. At Espanyol's RCDE Stadium on Saturday, the player in goal for Tuchel will be able to enjoy the sun without having to break sweat. But the German is expecting some fierce competition between the sticks, which was not the case under former manager Gareth Southgate. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Tuchel said: 'It will always be a fight for every position and there is no exception for the goalkeepers. 'At the moment, Jordan is in a good place mentally and performance-wise. England boss Thomas Tuchel explains Ivan Toney recall 'It helped him to stabilise himself at Everton with the change of manager with David Moyes. 'He became very, very stable and also emotionally stable and we're very happy with that. 'Jordan has been in goal for a long, long time and he earned his place with consistent performances at a high level in international football. 'All three of our goalkeepers are not involved in European football. They're not used to European football, which would be ideal. It's not a problem, though. 'Jordan behaves and trains at the highest level and we're very, very happy with him. 'He's doing everything at the moment to keep his place because he feels Dean stepped up and found another level, another gear. Alternative goalkeeper options 'Dean got a big title with his club and was a key figure in the campaign, so that helped his confidence a lot.' And then there is 22-year-old Trafford, who kept 29 clean sheets in 45 matches as Burnley won promotion back to the Premier League. Tuchel added: 'James had a long, long break after his fantastic season with Burnley. 'He hasn't been on the pitch for four weeks, he finished the season the earliest. That's a little bit of a disadvantage for him, it's not his fault but he is pushing strongly. 'That's what we expect from him and he is at the moment a competitor for Dean Henderson and Jordan Pickford. 'Hopefully, he can prove himself next season and then the race is on.' Fitness challenges It is not ideal that England, who won their opening World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia in March, are in such a weak group. Andorra will be no trouble but the qualifier away to Serbia in September is a decent test, while there is also a Wembley friendly with Wales the following month. This week has seen Tuchel test his players on how they deal with the heat as the conditions will be baking-hot at the World Cup next year in the USA, Canada and Mexico. And he is trying to work out how his players can be at peak fitness, because he admits the squad were in their best shape during the mid-season 2022 World Cup. Tuchel said: 'The majority of our players play in the toughest league in the world and they are used to a kind of rhythm that is very unique. 'The tournaments are normally played after a long season and it is not maybe an advantage for us but it is just a fact. It is maybe not a coincidence players felt the most comfortable in the Qatar World Cup. 'Suddenly, the demands of the Premier League became an advantage because they were in the middle of it and felt they had an advantage over other players. 'It can be that at some point we need to adjust our style of play when it comes to tournament football and when it comes to knockout football. 'Everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to win in style. Can you really play the same game in 40C heat and humidity that you play in 20C in an evening match? 'So, these are some questions I don't have all the answers to and I don't have to right now, because we still have one year to go but we are on it to answer them.' 5 Crystal Palace star Dean Henderson will provide some stiff competition to Pickford at England 5 There are high hopes for Burnley star James Trafford at England

Bukayo Saka ruled OUT of England's World Cup qualifier vs Andorra in blow to Thomas Tuchel's plans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BUKAYO SAKA is struggling with an injury he picked up on the final day of the season for Arsenal. The winger could miss the World Cup qualifier against Andorra as he has only trained the last two days.

Tuchel said: 'Until that latest injury he was more or less always available, always playable every three days. "He had this consistency in his game and in his body, which made him very unique. 'He was decisive for England, he took responsibility, he bounced back after a decisive and dramatic penalty miss (Euro 2020 final).

"He knows what it takes to be a national player. 'He came into camp with a little bit of discomfort from the last match against Southampton, so we took care of him and treated him individually. 'It was the first training session that he started and finished with the group today. Yesterday, he started with the group but did not finish with the group, so let's see. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'I'm not sure if we take the risk for this game. "The decision has not been taken, but he will be available for the Senegal match, and he plays a major role in our thoughts on how to build a competitive team.' How Lewis-Skelly could be Tuchel's secret weapon for England In addition, Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins will play no part against Andorra or Senegal on Tuesday in Nottingham. The striker withdrew from Tuchel's party as a precaution because of what the FA described as a "minor" issue. Tuchel said: 'Ollie Watkins has a discomfort in his upper thigh or groin area in the muscle and we decided not to take any risks. "He will go home to continue treatment and we will not take any risks in case he gets an injury. It's very minor." Watkins was the top-scoring Englishman in the Premier League last season with 16 goals, one ahead of Chelsea's Cole Palmer. The Villa star scored the dramatic late winner in last summer's European Championship semi-final against Holland. Watkins' withdrawal leaves Tuchel with captain Harry Kane and Saudi-based Ivan Toney as his two centre forwards. England do not intend to bring in a replacement and so will have 25 players for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra and Tuesday's home friendly against Senegal. 5 Ollie Watkins has also pulled out of the squad Credit: PA
