Wamser through to Nations League final with Germany: Bayer 04 Women's international update

In the two semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Nations League, European Championship shooting star Carlotta Wamser played the full 90 minutes for Germany. A narrow 1-0 win against France in Düsseldorf was followed by a 2-2 draw in Caen, France, on Tuesday evening, meaning that Germany now face Spain in the final of the Women's Nations League on 28 November and 2 December, to be played as a two-legged tie. The World Cup and Euros winners beat Sweden in the other semi-final.

Centre-back Claudia Wenger with Austria secured their place in League A of the Women's Nations League. After a 1-0 defeat in the first play-off against the Czech Republic, Austria won the second leg in Vienna 2-0. Wenger played the full match in Czechia but did not feature in the second leg.

The Leverkusen trio of Estrella Merino Gonzalez, Julia Mickenhagen and Katharina Piljic returned to the Rhineland with two victories. The Germany U23s clocked up very convincing wins in two friendlies against England (5-0) Sweden (4-0). In the first match against England, Merino Gonzalez, who recently received the Fritz Walter Siver Medal in the U19 category from the DFB, only came on in the second half on the hour mark to manage her time on the pitch. All three were in the starting XI for the clash with Sweden four days later. Merino Gonzalez and Mickenhagen played as full-backs, while Piljic was substituted on 76 minutes.

Daedelow makes U19 debut

Ida Daedelow played her first game for the Germany U19 team. The 18-year-old midfielder made her debut appearance in a 3-0 victory over the Norway U19s, coming on as a substitute on 61 minutes. Her second appearance soon followed: Daedelow came off the bench on 66 minutes in the second half of the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands U19s.
