Germany Women’s squad: Melanie Leupolz forced out with tonsillitis!

Germany women’s head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg has announced her 27-player squad for the final two friendlies ahead of the summer break. Germany will face France in Straßburg on June 10 (21:10 CEST) and Chile in Offenbach on June 15 (15:00 CEST).

Melanie Leupolz, who plays for Chelsea FC, has withdrawn from the Germany women’s squad after she was diagnosed with tonsillitis during a medical check on Monday at the team hotel in Gravenbruch.

The 27-year-old left the hotel that same evening. Head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg has declined to call up a replacement for Leupolz.
