The UEFA Women's Nations League continues with Matchdays 3 and 4 and some more direct clashes between Bayern players. The Nations League also serves as the qualifying tournament for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where only two other European countries can qualify along with hosts France. Here's all the information on which players are in action when and against whom.
Germany up against Wales and Iceland
In Giulia Gwinn, Linda Dallmann, Klara Bühl, Lea Schüller and Lina Magull, a total of five FC Bayern players were selected for the German national team. However, the latter has pulled out after sustaining a muscular injury in Sunday's 3-0 win at RB Leipzig. So far in the tournament, the Germans lost 2-0 to Denmark in the opening match before a 4-0 win over Iceland.
Now they face a Wales side who are winless in the Nations League on Friday 27 October. Kick-off at Hoffenheim's PreZero Arena is at 17:45*. Four days later, on Tuesday 31 October, Dallmann and Co come up against FCB captain Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir with Iceland. Kick-off at Laugardalsvöllur in Reykjavík is at 20:00.
Germany meet Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir and Iceland again.
Norway and England against group leaders
For Norway and Tuva Hansen, there's a double header against unbeaten group leaders France in the Women's Nations League. The Norwegians are currently third in Group B following a draw against Austria and a defeat against Portugal.
It's a similar story for England and Georgia Stanway. The Lionesses are also third in Group A and now meet top-of-the-table Belgium twice. The World Cup runners-up host the Belgians first at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on Friday 27 October, kicking off at 20:45. The European champions then travel to the King Power at Den Dreef in Leuven for a 20:30 kick-off on Tuesday 31 October.

Kick-off at the Stadion Schnabelholz in Altach is at 18:00. Four days later, the Austrians visit the Portuguese for the return fixture in Póvoa de Varzim, with the Matchday 4 encounter kicking off at 19:15.
