The soccer players from champions VfL Wolfsburg are approaching the upcoming Champions League group games against AS Roma like knockout duels.
“I see it a bit as a round of 16, especially with the second leg right after that,” said coach Tommy Stroot at the press round before the away game on Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN): “We can win the direct comparison and take it exactly like that.”
With six points from two games, the Wolves are currently leading Group B ahead of the Italian runners-up who have the same number of points.
According to Stroot, whether national player Lena Oberdorf will be available again after an acromioclavicular joint injury will be decided in the final training session before departure at noon.
Definitely not able to play with Bundesliga leader defender Sara Agrez (back) and substitute goalkeeper Lisa Weiß (flu infection).
Despite all the anticipation, Stroot warned of a typically Italian, internationally experienced and “totally ripped off” team that currently leads the women’s Serie A. The second comparison is scheduled for December 8 (6:45 p.m.) in Wolfsburg.
