Brazil, the South American champions, are ranked 9th in the world and England are 4th. We should get a true indication of where the team are as we head towards this summer's World Cup. Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Nobbs has not featured for England at a major tournament since 2017 after struggling with injury. She's enjoyed unparalleled success in charge of the Lionesses, reaching the final in both tournaments, winning the Euros and losing the World Cup final. That means two of the three starters in England's frontline from last summer will likely change at the World Cup.

When do England women play next? Match schedule for Lionesses

However, we know that Weigman is anything but experimental during the European Championship, she selected the same XV throughout the tournament last summer. Will she give new players a change to stake their claim in her World Cup squad? One player who has been handed a debut since the summer is Chelsea's Lauren James, who has gone from a super sub to a regular starter for England. We expect to be challenged more in defence, so that will give us more information about our team and where players are at this moment moving forward in our preparation for the World Cup." Make no mistake, England will need to play notably better than they did in a sloppy second half against Brazil if they are to win the World Cup this summer, yet their chances of doing so now feel significantly enhanced by the valuable experiences they gained at Wembley during the course of dramatically winning the first Women's Finalissima on penalties. England's midfield is tough to break into with Bayern Munich's Georgia Stanway and Barcelona's Keira Walsh firm favourites to start.

Regardless, this is a proper test for Sarina Wiegman's side after the slightly farcical Arnold Clark threw up a series of mismatches. England won those three games too easily but at least they were able to experiment I suppose. Football Association (FA) sources say it is standard practice for both the women’s and men’s team not to pass through arrivals after disembarking from flights. Good evening and welcome to live coverage of the first Women's Finalissima - match between the European and South American champions.

Arsenal's Lotte Wubben-Moy was initially left out of this month's squad but was a late replacement for the injured Bright and will be keen to show Wiegman why she should have been called up in the first place. We’re made of great people in this team, staff and players. It’s about moving forward and being ready for July," Kelly told ITV Sport. "It was another challenge here tonight but we’re building momentum and keep moving forward now." She scored her first goal for England in their Arnold Clark Cup victory over South Korea in February.. Ahead of tonight's match, the Lionesses released their new kit ahead of the World Cup on Monday, featuring blue shorts after players raised concerns during the Euro's last year over wearing white shorts while on their periods. Wiegman said in February she did not know her best XI, though it is unlikely there will be many changes in defence or midfield.

Spain won the Women's World Cup final 1-0 to take home the trophy, leaving Sarina Wiegman's side — and an entire nation — to ponder what might have been. While they absorb yesterday's pain the Lionesses will be contemplating what might have been, not what lies ahead. We did not know how much England were going to miss Jill Scott until they could no longer call on her in a game such as this. Brazil showed us just how sorely her absence will be felt at the World Cup this summer.
