Manchester City forward Ellen White has been forced to withdraw from the England camp after testing positive for Covid-19 with the home European Championship just two weeks away.
It means she will miss Friday’s pre-tournament friendly with the Netherlands and is also a doubt for the Lionesses’ final warm-up game against Switzerland on June 30. England play Austria in the competition’s curtain-raiser at Old Trafford on June 6.
White will likely be available for that fixture but may be lacking in fitness if she does indeed miss both upcoming friendly matches. The 33-year-old is one of Sarina Wiegman’s main strikers and is just three goals away from Wayne Rooney ’s all-time England scoring record.
