Lilla Turanyi and Hungary need two wins from the remaining two matches in League B, Group 3 in Serbia on Friday and against Belarus next Tuesday to be in with a chance in the promotion play-offs in League A. The central defender and her team have three points from four games. The position looks better for Cornelia Kramer: On six points, Denmark are equal third with Italy in League A, Group 4 and just two behind the group leaders Sweden. If Denmark win the games against Wales and Sweden then they could go through to the semi-finals.
For Karolina Lea Vilhjalmsdottir, who will not play for Bayer 04 next season after two years on loan, it is all about Iceland staying in League A, Group 2. Currently on three points, if the team comes out on top in the games against Norway and France they would finish second and be certain of staying in League A but finishing third would put Iceland in the play-offs against a second-placed team from League B, and ending up fourth would mean relegation to League B.
Julia Mickenhagen has two friendlies against the USA with the Germany U23 team. The team led by coach Kathrin Peter play in Großaspach on Friday and that is followed by the second match on Monday in Pforzheim. After just failing to qualify for the Euro finals, the Germany U19 squad will meet up at the DFB Campus in Frankfurt am Main for a training course with two friendlies on the agenda. Estrella Merino Gonzalez and Delice Boboy, who will play for RB Leipzig next season, are in a 24-person squad for games against England and France. Ida Daedelow is on standby.
