FC Bayern Women players called up for national teams

The first international break since the summer’s Euros in Switzerland is coming up in October. Find out which FC Bayern Women players have been called up for their country and where they’ll be playing this month.

Germany in Nations League semis

Germany’s objective this month is to reach the final of the UEFA Women’s Nations League, with Christian Wück calling up six Bayern players for the two-legged semi-final tie against France in Giulia Gwinn, Franziska Kett, Klara Bühl, Lea Schüller, Linda Dallmann and Alara Şehitler. The latter was brought into the squad after the withdrawal of Wolfsburg’s Sarai Linder. Lena Oberdorf had also been named in the squad but is no longer available after her cruciate ligament injury, with Dallmann taking her place. Goalkeeper Ena Mahmutovic has had to withdraw as well after her ankle injury.

Mala Grohs has been named on standby and will at first join up with the U23s for their games against England and Sweden. The first leg of the semi-final is in Düsseldorf on 24 October (17:45 CEST), with the return fixture in Caen four days later (21:10 CET).
