Led by Alexandra Popp, Germany’s runners-up European champions open two international soccer matches against the world champions from the United States. National coach Martina Vos-Decklenburg has named Janina Minge (SC Freiburg) as a debutant in her 26-man squad for the games in Fort Lauderdale/Florida on November 11 (1:00 am CET/zdf.de) and on November 13. at Harrison/ New Jersey (11 p.m. CET/sportschau.de).

Also returning will be Caroline Simon (Bayern Munich), Joel Wedemeyer (VFL Wolfsburg) and Paulina Krumbigel (DSG Hoffenheim). Due to injuries, Voss-Decklenburg was without Marina Hegering, Jennifer Marozan, Sarah Tapritz, Julia Quinn, Tabe Wasmuth and Sidney Lohmann.
He deliberately suggested a bigger squad to “use more players and meet more demands at this stage,” Voss-Decklenburg said. The US is an opponent “at an absolutely high level” according to the national coach, who will “certainly provide valuable insights in preparation for next year’s World Cup”. – German team:
