Professional footballer, centre-back and captain at Manchester United, England international
England manager Sarina Wiegman has left Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly out of a playoff squad, saying their levels on the pitch have not matched expectations. She still believes in them and says they can do better, while naming Lexi Potter and Freya Godfrey among new call-ups ahead of October’s World Cup qualifying playoff vs Greece.
England has delivered a clinical display in Leicester, extending the aggregate lead over Greece to 8-1 as Alessia Russo, Georgia Stanway and Lauren James star. England control the tie ahead of the second leg, with Russo netting a third goal and Stanway adding more ruthlessness in front of goal.
