Now it is clear which players coach Inka Grings will take to the tournament in New Zealand and Australia. Riola Xhemaili, among others, did not make the last squad cut. It’s a big surprise that Grings has decided not to play the 20-year-old (22 internationals, 5 goals).

Grings says about the end of the talent: “It was a difficult decision, especially since she has shown good performance in the preparations in recent weeks. But she has to understand that she has to do a little more.”

Grings continued: “I hope she will get up again. And she cried too. It’s also logical that the footballer’s heart crumbles a bit.” Xhemaili did not play convincingly at SC Freiburg last season, in the summer she will switch to Champions League finalists VfL Wolfsburg. Amira Arfaoui from Bayer Leverkusen also has to stay at home.

The tournament, which lasts from July 20 to August 20, sees the Nati in Group A against New Zealand, Norway and the Philippines. The declared goal of the Swiss: to survive the group phase.
