Germany has named their 28-player strong squad for this summer's Women's World Cup.

Germany’s national women’s football team, under head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, has unveiled their provisional 28-player squad for the upcoming Women’s World Cup.

The squad includes Chelsea duo Ann-Katrin Berger and Melanie Leupolz, showcasing the talent and depth within the Premier League club.

Captain and star striker Alexandra Popp will lead the team that is hoping to win its third world title at the prestigious football tournament in Australia and New Zealand (20 July - 20 August).

Two Bayern Munich stars Giulia Gwinn and Linda Dallmann have not been included in the squad as they failed to recover from injuries in time to make the team.  

Almuth Schult, also part of the squad at last year's EURO, is missing due to pregnancy.

Germany were drawn in Group H at the World Cup with Morocco, Colombia, and the Republic of Korea.

They will open their campaign on 24th July in Melbourne against Morocco before facing Colombia on July 30 in Sydney.
