Lilla Turányi has two matches with Hungary: The Faroe Islands are the opponents in a World Cup qualifier and there is a friendly against Brazil. Milena Nikolić, who has recovered from a Covid-19 infection in time, is also involved in World Cup qualifiers for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Azerbaijan and Montenegro.

Switzerland are also in search of points to take part in the World Cup and they face Romania and Italy. Irina Pando and Amira Arfaoui are on standby for the Swiss national team.

Clara Fröhlich, Lisanne Gräwe and Sofie Zdebel are away with the Germany U19 side. In this international break, they are only involved in one Euros qualifier against Finland due to the current political situation and the original group for Germany including Finland, Russia and Belarus.

Werkself move up to fourth place after 4-1 win against RB Leipzig

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
