England manager Sarina Wiegman has pinpointed their final game of the year against Norway as a great opportunity for the squad’s younger players to show what they can do.
The Lionesses take on a Norway side ranked 12th in the FIFA rankings after easing past Japan 4-0, as they look to complete 2022 without losing a single game. The European champions do have some notable absentees with Beth Mead, Lucy Bronze, Lauren Hemp and Jordan Nobbs all having already withdrawn from the squad.
But some of the squad’s younger talent including Jess Park, who scored just over a minute into her senior debut, Lauren James, Ebony Salmon and Esme Morgan impressed in the win over Japan. And the England boss is hoping for more of the same against Norway.
