Friendlies news

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has blasted England manager Sarina Wiegman after her astonishing claim that Manchester United skipper Maya Le Tissier is better suited to right-back than centre-half, despite the defender being one of the most consistent defenders in the Women’s Super League. Wiegman’s insistence came as a shock to many, with Wright joining a growing chorus of voices demanding answers over why the United captain continues to be overlooked in her natural position for the national team.

Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman is without all of Leah Williamson, Millie Bright, Lauren James and Lauren Hemp for England's October friendlies against Brazil and Australia, paving the way for her to hand out three debut senior call-ups in her latest squad, revealed on Tuesday. Among them is talented teenager Katie Reid, who has deputised impressively for the injured Williamson at Arsenal at the start of the new season.

Chelsea forward Sam Kerr has received her first Matildas call-up in two years. The talismanic striker has finally earned her long-awaited return to the Australian national squad after overcoming injury heartbreak and surgery. The Blues forward, who tore her ACL during a mid-season training camp in Morocco back in January 2024, has endured a gruelling 20-month road to recovery. But now, the 32-year-old icon has been named in Joe Montemurro’s Australia squad for their October friendlies against Wales and England, her first international call-up since late 2023.
