England v China – Female Exhibition Fixture

Overview

Welcome everyone to the exhibition game between the English side and the Chinese squad at the iconic Wembley. An exciting encounter is anticipated with the reigning European champions taking on the current Asian Cup champions.

The home of English football is packed for the event, which will see Fran Kirby celebrated pre-match after her departure from the England squad before the European Championship this past summer.

Squad announcements will be revealed soon, but there was a last minute squad update for England. On Friday, Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a small issue, and so ex-first choice Ellie Roebuck has been summoned.

With Hannah Hampton injured, it will be notable to find out who England manager Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. Those details along with further updates are incoming before the opening whistle at 5:30 in the evening GMT.
