Germany Squad Named for Crucial World Cup Qualifiers

Germany's women's national team coach Christian Wück has finalized his squad for the crucial 2027 World Cup qualifiers against Austria. The team sees the return of Hoffenheim forward Selina Cerci, who has recovered from an injury that sidelined her for previous matches. However, striker Larissa Mühlhaus from Werder Bremen has not been included in the squad despite a promising debut goal. Wück explained this decision by stating Mühlhaus would benefit from further experience with the under-23 national team. Klara Bühl, Sophia Kleinherne, and Bibiane Schulze Solano are still unavailable due to injuries, though Kleinherne and Schulze Solano have resumed team training. Germany is set to play Austria on April 14 in Nuremberg and again on April 18 in Ried. Currently topping Group A4 after victories against Slovenia and Norway, the team is optimistic about advancing towards the 2027 World Cup with the backing of their home crowd.
