England face Portugal at Wembley in the start to the finale to the Women’s Nations League campaign.
The Lionesses were rocked this week by the news of Mary Earps’ shock retirement ahead of this summer’s Euro 2025.
But Sarina Wiegman is urging her players to look forward as they continue their Euro preparations, with just a month to go until the opening game against France in Switzerland.
The Lionesses came into the final two games of Nations League Group A3 two points behind leaders Spain in the table.
As England face world champions Spain away from home on Tuesday, a win for the Lionesses tonight will keep their hopes of advancing to the semi-finals alive.
Is England vs Portugal on TV?
It will be shown live on ITV 4, with coverage starting from 7pm. A live stream will be available on ITV X. Kick-off at Wembley is at 19:45pm.
Confirmed line-up
England XI: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Carter; Walsh, Clinton; Mead, Park, Hemp; Beever-Jones
What is the England team news?
To add to the retirement of Mary Earps, England vice-captain Millie Bright has withdrawn from the squad after explaining that she was “at my limits mentally and physically”. Alessia Russo and Ella Toone have calf injuries but could be back for Tuesday’s game against Spain, while Lauren James remains out with a hamstring injury.
Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood return to Wiegman’s squad after long-term injury lay-offs. Hemp starts, with Aggie Beever-Jones selected up front in place of Russo. Esme Morgan replaces Bright in defence with Jess Carter at left back.
