Sarina Wiegman has responded to former Steph Houghton's comments on still wanting to play for England, stating she doesn't want to leave out her current defenders.
Houghton had said publicly her international exile from the England team over the past year was "frustrating" and that she wanted "closure." But speaking ahead of Tuesday's clash with Australia, Lionesses' boss Wiegman explained that due to the quality of player she has a centre-back, it was unavoidable that some players will be left disappointed.
The Dutch coach did add that she would not close the door on anyone ahead of selecting her squad for the 2023 World Cup finals in July.
