Germany goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger will sit out upcoming friendlies against Australia and Japan as coach Christian Wück selects six players from the English Women's Super League. Captain Giulia Gwinn, who missed the World Cup qualifiers due to shoulder surgery, will lead the 24-player squad. Wück has called up English-based defenders Sjoeke Nüsken, Lea Schüller, Vivien Endemann, Carlotta Wamser, and Selina Cerci, along with 19-year-old winger Lisa Baum.
Centre backs Rebecca Knaak and Kathrin Hendrich are sidelined with injuries, and Nicole Anyomi is also not fully fit. The matches against Australia and Japan on October 9 and 13 respectively signal the start of the season for Wück and the German team as they prepare for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
