Sarina Wiegman faces a nervous wait to see if she will test negative for Covid in time to be in the technical area for England’s Euro 2022 quarter‑final against Spain on Wednesday night.
The Lionesses’ manager said she was “very hopeful” of being at the game in Brighton but emphasised that her presence is not imperative. “I’m feeling well, I’m ready to go but I still have to wait,” said Wiegman, who missed the 5-0 win against Northern Ireland in the final group match after testing positive.
