A total of 24 outfield players and three goalkeepers were on board the flight from Düsseldorf in the morning. The two Bundesliga keepers Friederike Repohl and Anne Moll were joined by youth goalkeeper Louisa Remien. Charlotte Voll will join the group on Thursday and continue her rehab in Poland following her shoulder operation.
The Germany U19 captain Pauline Bartz is also part of the tour group but will not be able to take part in training due to a skin disorder. Therefore, youth player Chiara Kaiser, who was involved in the first part of the pre-season, has joined the group. The six summer signings Caroline Kehrer, Cornelia Kramer, Shen Menglu, Katharina Piljić, Juliette Vidal plus Vanessa Haim, signed on Sunday, are also at the training camp.
