England will return to the scene of their Euro 2022 glory when they walk out at Wembley tonight for a sold out friendly game against world champions United States.

Following a historic summer, Sarina Wiegman’s side announced the glamour tie that will see the biggest names in women’s football, such as Megan Rapinoe, Beth Mead and Millie Bright, battle it out at England’s national stadium.

The game will be seen as the ultimate test for Wiegman’s squad, with the USA ranked as FIFA’s number one side now for a number of years.

However, two impressive victories over Austria and Luxembourg in September mean England head into the game undefeated in the last 18 games – a run that stretches back to April 2021.

They will have to do it without two of the stars of their summer triumph though, with captain Leah Williamson and Manchester United’s star striker Alessia Russo both ruled out with injury. West Ham United’s Lucy Parker has also withdrawn for the squad, with Lotte Wubben-Moy and Nikita Parris called up as replacements.

The USWNT have injury problems too with forward Alex Morgan missing out due to a knee problem.

The game could see two debutants for the home side after head coach Wiegman introduced Manchester City’s Esme Morgan and Everton’s on loan forward Jess Park to her 24-man squad, the latter for the first time. Fran Kirby and Euro 2022 final hero Chloe Kelly also return from injury.
