For example, after positive corona cases occurred among the women of SK Sturm Graz, the ÖFB team boss decided not to nominate the originally called storm players Katja Wienerroither, Annabel Schasching and Valentina Kröll. In their place move Anna Bereuter (spusu SKN St. Pölten), as well as for the first time Lilli Purtscheller (FC Wacker Innsbruck) and Melanie Brunnthaler (spusu SKN St. Pölten). “After careful consideration, we decided not to take any risks in this case. It remains a very challenging time. Due to many injuries and the Covid situation, some debutants get the chance to show themselves again in this course,” said the team boss.
Also must be an offensive player Besijana Pireci (SG Austria Wien / USC Landhaus) due to injury. Lena Triendl (FC Wacker Innsbruck) and returnee Julia Kofler (SV Werder Bremen / GER) therefore complete the roster. Triendl has been nominated for the squad for the first time ever, Kofler already sniffed A-Team air once – in October 2017 – but has not yet played an international match. The Austrians will complete their first training session on Tuesday in Bad Tatzmannsdorf. On Sunday in the Ritzinger Sonnenseestadion, EURO participants Finland (FIFA-25.) Will be waiting for a well-known opponent to prepare for the qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, which will begin in autumn. The draw will take place on April 30th.
