Lara Marti and Irina Pando are in the Switzerland squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Italy and Lithuania. Switzerland currently lead their group with twelve points from four games and an impressive goal difference of 17 to one. Dina Blagojević is with Serbia for home and away encounters with Bulgaria; Sylwia Matysik and Poland face Kosovo and Belgium. And Poland are also in a good position ahead of the international break - they are second with eight points from four games.

Trio CAN MAKE UP GROUND

Milena Nikolic with second to last Bosnia-Herzegovina can make up ground on Denmark and Malta as well as adding to the one point they have secured so far. The same applies to Lilla Turányi and Dóra Zeller with Hungary who could move up their group from one off bottom with a win against Ukraine.

The two youngsters Lisanne Gräwe and Julia Pollak are heading off to Spain; Sofie Zdebel is on standby. The Germany U20s are in Salou from 21 November to 1 December for the Costa Daurada Trophy. Germany play France, Spain and Mexico.

Bayer 04 has presented the groups on the Monheim council with extensively revised proposals for the planned Campus. As part of constructive discussions, the club presented a plan to the CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP, PETO and the Left Party that envisages a one-third reduction in the area of the site on Alfred-Nobel-Strasse.
