Sarina Wiegman has said more needs to be done to address the lack of diversity in women’s football, before England friendlies against Japan and Norway in Spain.

“I would love to see more black players in the team,” said the manager, whose side face Japan on Friday and Norway on Tuesday. “For me, with the senior squad, the process is done already, so I pick the best players – whoever that is, I’ll pick the best players to perform. But I do think we need to do more and the FA is doing more, to give access to everyone that wants to play football.”
