Josée Bélanger has failed in her quest to recover in time to go to Germany.
The 24-year-old striker has been a real bright spot for the Canucks over the past year. Her five goals gave notice that she might be the player that could take some of the scoring pressure off Christine Sinclair.
Unfortunately an ankle injury suffered earlier this year will keep her off the roster for Germany.
In more positive news, the injury may have opened the door for Vancouver's Chelsea Buckland. The forward, who has yet to be capped, is the only surprise at the Canadian camp, which opened this week.
