Turid Knaack has been called up for the upcoming qualification matches against Russia on Thursday (Wiesbaden, 16:00 CEST) and Turkey on Sunday (Sandhausen, 14:15 CEST). The Bayer 04 Leverkusen attacker replaces Pauline Bremer, who was forced to drop out of the squad after picking up an injury for Olympique Lyon.
This is the first call up for Knaack: "I was really pleased to have got the call from the coach, and will do my best to leave a good impression," said the 24-year-old, who has played 156 Bundesliga matches already in her career.
The DFB women are top of their European qualification group after 2 wins in two matches. Only the group winners are granted automatic qualification to the final tournament in 2017.
