England versus the Chinese team – Women’s Friendly International

Introduction

Hello and welcome to the exhibition game between England and China at the iconic Wembley. This promises to be an exciting contest with the current Euro titleholders competing against the current Asian Cup champions.

The iconic Wembley is sold-out for the event, which will see Fran Kirby honored pre-match after her retirement from the national team before the Euro tournament this past summer.

Lineup details will be announced shortly, but there was a late squad update for England. On Friday, Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a small issue, and so ex-first choice Ellie Roebuck has been called up.

With Hannah Hampton out of action, it will be notable to find out who England manager Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. Those details along with further updates are on the way before the start of the match at 5:30 in the evening GMT.

Squad Updates

The team news is in. Anna Moorhouse starts in goal for England in the non-presence of Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating.

England: Moorhouse, Bronze, Charles, Walsh, Le Tissier, Morgan, Mead, Stanway, Russo, Toone, Hemp.

Reserves: Hings, Baggaley, Kendall, Wubben-Moy, Beever-Jones, Kelly, Kearns, Park, Blindkilde Brown, Roebuck, Clinton, Denton, Fisk, Godfrey.

I am searching for China’s team news now; when it comes through, I will post it.

Leadership Role

Keira Walsh is captaining the Lionesses with Leah Williamson still sidelined. Here’s what she had to say before this clash:
