Sarina Wiegman sent Rachel Daly message after incredible start at Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Carla Ward believes Rachel Daly should be playing as a striker for both club and country.

The 30-year-old returned to England over the summer after several years in the United States, most recently with NWSL side Houston Dash. Daly is already Villa's joint top scorer in the Women's Super League since the start of last season, despite only making two appearances in the competition so far.

For England, however, Daly has been deployed in a different position as she started every game of the Lionesses' Euros winning campaign at left-back. Despite fending off competition from Alex Greenwood and Demi Stokes in that role, Ward believes Daly should be given opportunities further up the pitch under Sarina Wiegman.
