The Lionesses take on the Chinese team – Women's Exhibition Match

Introduction

Greetings and welcome to the non-competitive match between England and the Chinese squad at Wembley Stadium. The match is set to be a thriller with the European Championship holders facing the reigning Asia Cup winners.

The iconic Wembley is fully booked for the match, which will see Fran Kirby honored pre-match after her departure from the England squad before the Euro tournament this past summer.

The team news will be revealed soon, but there was a recent squad update for England. On Friday, the goalkeeper Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a minor injury, and so previous starter Ellie Roebuck has been summoned.

With Hannah Hampton injured, it will be interesting to see who the Lionesses' coach Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. This information and additional developments are incoming before the start of the match at 5:30 in the evening GMT.

Lineup Announcements

The team news is in. Anna Moorhouse is the starting keeper for England in the non-presence of Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating.

England: Moorhouse, Bronze, Charles, Walsh, Le Tissier, Morgan, Mead, Stanway, Russo, Toone, Hemp.

Substitutes: Hings, Baggaley, Kendall, Wubben-Moy, Beever-Jones, Kelly, Kearns, Park, Blindkilde Brown, Roebuck, Clinton, Denton, Fisk, Godfrey.

I am searching for China’s team news now; once it is available, I will provide the update.
