Career

[edit]

Chmielinski was introduced to football from a very young age, starting her career at the age of three with Ludwigsfelder. In 2012, she moved to the youth team of Turbine Potsdam while attending the "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn" sports school in Potsdam . From 2014 to 2016, Chmielinski played in the Bundesliga with the B Juniors. In the 2014–15 season, the team won the championship title by beating Werder Bremen 3–1 in the final, followed a year later by the title defence after a 4–2 win in her hometown of Ludwigsfelde against Gütersloh.[7]

In the summer of 2016, she was added to the first team squad and under the technical guidance of Matthias Rudolph, she made her Frauen-Bundesliga debut on 18 December 2016, on the 11th matchday of the championship, starting with a resounding 8-0 home win over MSV Duisburg, finally replaced by Tabea Kemme in the 73rd minute. She had to wait until the following season, on 12 November 2017, to score her first goal in the Frauen Bundesliga, when in the 80th minute against Bayern Munich she scored the final equaliser in a 2-2 draw.[8]

In total, Chmielinski remained tied to the Potsdam club for six consecutive seasons, contributing to many high-finishes in the Frauen Bundesliga, finishing third twice and in fourth spot four times in the Bundesliga, and reaching the final in the German Women's Cup, losing the 2022 Final 4-0 against Wolfsburg.

In the summer of 2022, she decided to move abroad for the first time, reaching an agreement with the Swedish team FC Rosengård to play the second part of the 2022 season joining her compatriot Rebecca Knaak.[9] She made her debut in Damallsvenskan a month later, when coach Renée Slegers selected her on the 16th matchday of the championship, replacing Sofie Bredgaard in the 79th minute in the 2-0 home win against Häcken. With seven appearances in the Damallsvenskan, she contributed to the club winning their 13th Swedish championship title.

She started the following season with the Malmö club, making seven appearances and scoring her first goal overseas in a 4-0 league win over Vittsjö GIK.

On 13 August 2023, Chmielinski moved permanently to Napoli, who had just returned to Serie A.[10] During the season, she made 25 appearances, scoring one goal and seven assists in the league, contributing to the Campania club's survival.[11]

On 15 July 2024, she was signed on a permanent basis by US Sassuolo, staying in the top division in Italy.[12]
