New goalkeeper talent for DFB women: Mahmutovic replaces Grohs!

Zürich, Schweiz - Frankfurt/Main - a dramatic change in German women's football! The talented goalkeeper Maria Luisa Grohs, who was recently diagnosed with a malignant tumor, is replaced by 20-year-old Ena Mahmutovic. The new national coach Christian Wück has nominated the Bayern player for the last test international matches of the year against Switzerland and Italy. These take place on November 29 in Zurich and December 2 in Bochum. A brave step that keeps the entire football world in suspense!

The Situation is tense: Ann-Katrin Berger, the “footballer of the year”, treats herself a well-deserved break after a long season in the USA and is only ready on call. New in the 23-member squad are the young talents Cora Zicai (19) from SC Freiburg and Alara Sehitler (17) from FC Bayern, which bring fresh wind into the team. Wück emphasizes that the doors are always open to Grohs: "The past few days have shown that sport is moving far into the background when it comes to health."

a team in upheaval

The Olympic thirds must now prove themselves without their long-time captain Alexandra Popp from VfL Wolfsburg. Wück, who celebrated his debut in October with an impressive 4: 3 victory against England, has accepted the challenge of redressing his team. With Stina Johannes von Eintracht Frankfurt and Sophia Winkler (SGS Essen), other goalkeepers are ready, while Kathrin Hendrich from Wolfsburg returns after their absence. Sara Däbritz from Olympique Lyon as well as the strikers Nicole Anyomi (Frankfurt) and Vivien Endemann (Wolfsburg) were only nominated on demand. The DFB women stand with games from the Nations League and the European Championships in Switzerland!
