Almuth Schult won Olympic gold with the German team in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. The 32-year-old is currently without a contract.

The 66-time national player last played in the Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg from 2013 to 2022. Horst Hrubesch, who is currently coaching the DFB team on an interim basis, commented cautiously on Wednesday as to whether Schult would be considered for Paris 2024 if DFB women successfully qualified for the Summer Games.
