Following the final games in the UEFA Women's Nation's League, two Leverkusen players are involved in relegation play-offs, one Bayer 04 player has already been relegated with her team. In addition, three other players were involved in friendlies with Germany. Bayer04.de provides a round-up of the latest international appearances of the six players from the squad managed by head coach Roberto Pätzold.
Cornelia Kramer im Länderspiel gegen Wales

Cornelia Kramer made her first start for Denmark in the UEFA Women's Nations League. In her third international, the Leverkusen top goalscorer from last season was on the pitch in the 1-0 win against Wales until added time. Four days later, the 22-year-old came on at the start of the second half but was unable to help her team avoid a 6-1 defeat against Sweden. Denmark finished Group A4 in third place and are now in the relegation play-offs at the end of October.

Karolina Lea Vilhjalmsdottir also faces the play-offs to stay in League A with Iceland. The 23-year-old, who is set to leave Bayer 04 after two years on loan, was in the starting line-up for the 1-1 draw in Norway and the 2-0 defeat in France. Iceland finished third in Group A2 on four points after six games. The play-off matches to stay in League A will be played between 22 and 28 October, the draw for the matches between the second placed teams in League B has yet to be made.

Her Werkself teammate Lilla Turanyi had a less happy time with Hungary during the international break. Hungary's Women's Player of the Year in 2022 did play the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat in Serbia and the 0-0 draw against Belarus. As one of the two worst third-placed teams in League B, Hungary go straight down to League C after picking up four points in six games.
