Alex Greenwood (Manchester City)
Sarina Wiegman’s trust in Greenwood was emphasised when the England manager named the Manchester City defender as the Lionesses’ captain for their Arnold Clark Cup win over Italy in February. Greenwood has also captained City in Steph Houghton’s absence and recently stressed she is not daunted by wearing the armband for club or country. “It’s a massive honour,” she said. “But it’s a responsibility I accept and quite enjoy. I don’t think of it as a pressure.”
