The VfL Ladies’ training ground at Elsterweg will be a much quieter place in the coming days. No fewer than 12 members of the squad linked up with their respective national teams following Sunday’s 6-0 win over SV Werder Bremen, seven of whom are returning to southern Portugal - the venue of VfL’s mid-season training camp last month - to take part in the 26th edition of the Algarve Cup. Zsanett Jakabfi and Mary Earps will be flying the green-white flag in Cyprus and the USA respectively, while VfL’s Germany internationals face a tough friendly against France.
