Ellen White addresses Lionesses pressure ahead of England vs Norway fixture

Manchester City striker Ellen White has admitted that she is aware of the pressure she is under to retain her place in England's starting line-up ahead of tonight's clash with Norway in their second group game of the European Championship.

The Lionesses will be looking to build on Wednesday's opening night victory over Austria at Old Trafford, in which Beth Mead netted the only goal of the game to seal a 1-0 win for Sarina Wiegman's side. White, who netted four goals for City in the Women's Super League last term, started up front despite playing no part in the Lionesses' final two warm-up matches ahead of the tournament.

The City ace played no part in the victories over the Netherlands [5-1] and Switzerland [4-0] after testing positive for Covid-19. However, given her status as the Lionesses' all-time leading goalscorer, she was handed a start for the tournament opener.
