England’s Lauren James, Lauren Hemp and Ella Toone have been eliminated from an American match

Chelsea star James has been struggling with an ankle injury before the last international break, while Toone missed Manchester United’s victory over Leicester City with a calf injury.

Wiegman added that it “became clear pretty quickly that she (Toone) couldn’t be part of our team.” A source told ESPN that Toone will be out for six weeks to recover from the lower leg injury.

City’s Laura Blindkilde Brown and Leicester’s Ruby Mace earned their first call-ups. The duo previously featured in the England Under-23 squad, with the senior manager describing the pair as ‘very talented players’.

Wiegman has brought in City winger Chloe Kelly, despite the striker failing to make regular starts for Gareth Taylor and sometimes remaining as an unused substitute in both the League and Champions League.

“I think it’s already a concern,” she said when discussing Kelly’s playing minutes. “It’s a difficult situation; the competition at Man City is also high. We have to look at what is available, players we have available for our squad. We have some injuries up front; Lauren Hemp is injured and Lauren James is injured.” that competition is still going on.

“Chloe knows she is not in the best position at the club at the moment, but (she has) enough credit to bring her, that has to do with the whole team and the availability of players.”

The Lionesses prepare to take on the UWSNT in a blockbuster friendly on November 30. The match marks manager Emma Hayes’ return to England after leaving Chelsea following a 12-year spell to take over at the four-time world champions. Cup winners last summer.

Within her first few months with the USA, Hayes earned an Olympic gold medal, making her transition from club to national team coaching completely seamless.

Wiegman was full of praise for the Ballon d’Or Women’s Coach of the Year and said she was not surprised by Hayes’ lightning start in America.

“It didn’t surprise me at all, because I rate her very highly,” Wiegman continued. “She’s done a fantastic job at Chelsea, but now that she’s going into that environment with the US and of course winning a gold medal, it’s incredible what she’s done. It’s really, really impressive. And I’m looking forward to seeing her and to meet.” her and to play against the USA with England. It’s going to be a good one.”

England fell to a 4-3 defeat by Germany at Wembley Stadium last month. The reigning European champions conceded three times in the first thirty minutes, but fought back through a brace from Georgia Stanway. They struggled against South Africa despite a 2–1 win, while defensive problems continued for England.

Wiegman says the next two games are crucial as they look to defend their European Championship title in Switzerland next summer.

“We’ve now had the chance to play four friendlies – we’ve already played two and have two more. We’re going to get so many things out of this next camp and the next two games. We want to try new things. We want to experiment – we won’t get everything right – but it’s so important in the games against the US and Switzerland to figure things out and see players. That gives us so much information.

“We will play to win – we always do – but at the same time we experiment and if we get something out of that, then for me it is successful.”
