You have one point after four games. The important match against follows on June 5th Slovenia am Sports club place in Vienna-Hernals.

“The best”

Lars Söndergaard stuck closely to the last squads when ordering his team. “I chose this team because I think they are the best,” says Söndergaard. He has had “many, many conversations,” but he doesn’t yet know the players “on the field.”

The name of the experienced Stuttgart striker can also be found in the squad Nicole Billa. “She often plays over 90 minutes in the second division. She is one of the most dangerous players.” That could be crucial, especially against Slovenia and Norway.

Injured key workers

The Dane was cautiously optimistic about those who have recently been sorely missed long-term injured regular staff. Offensive player Lilli Purtscheller will even train with the team in the next few weeks. However, she is not in the squad for the World Cup qualification. “We got the OK from your previous team and future team, but we don’t want to take any risks,” says the team boss.

Also Sarah Zadrazil will join the team, but only in a special role. She is not yet back on the pitch after tearing her cruciate ligament, but the Bayern player will probably be available for the play-offs in the autumn, as will the England legionnaire Marie-Therese Höbinger and probably goalkeeper too Manuela Zinsberger.
