England head coach Sarina Wiegman has tested positive for Covid-19 during the Women's Euros.
Wiegman will now undertake a period of recovery at the squad's base camp. Her assistant coach, Arjan Veurink, will lead the Lionesses for Friday evening's fixture against Northern Ireland in Southampton. England will hope to have Wiegman back in the dugout for their quarter-final on Wednesday, July 20, where they'll take on Denmark or Spain in Brighton.
The Lionesses confirmed their place in the knockout stages with a record-breaking 8-0 victory over Norway on Monday, having beaten Austria 1-0 at Old Trafford last week. Wiegman described the win as "special" by telling BBC Sport: "We didn't expect to make such a big win as we did, but we played really well, we really exploited their weaknesses and we're really happy.
