Lira Alushi had complained about knee problems following her return from a training camp in Qatar with her club Paris St. Germain. An MRI scan revealed an inflammation of the knee. Alushi will undergo further examinations at the Hellersen sports clinic.

Germany coach Silvia Neid post has called up Svenja Huth (1. FFC Frankfurt), Katharina Baunach (FC Bayern München) and keeper Meike Kämper (MSV Duisburg) as replacements.
