Alex Greenwood believes the versatility of England players is a key strength going into the World Cup. “We’ve got players who can play in a number of positions, and obviously in a tournament that can go on for seven games it can be important that you’ve got fresh players in different parts of the pitch,” she says. “It’s definitely a strength of ours and something we’ll utilise.”
The Lionesses play their opening match against Haiti next Saturday and on Friday evening played a behind-closed-doors friendly against Canada, which ended 0-0, at the Sunshine Coast Stadium.
