Overview

• Tuesday’s friendly against Switzerland marks Sarina Wiegman’s last chance to test new players and tactics before the Nations League begins in February, limiting experimentation opportunities.
• Young midfielders Ruby Mace and Laura Blindkilde Brown are expected to make their senior debuts, with Wiegman expressing confidence in their readiness to contribute at the international level.
• Injuries to key attackers, including Lauren Hemp, Lauren James, Fran Kirby, and Chloe Kelly, have forced Wiegman to explore alternative attacking options, such as Aggie Beever-Jones.
• England’s lack of offensive threat in their recent 0-0 draw against the USA highlighted the need to diversify their attacking strategies and reduce reliance on injured star players.
• The match against Switzerland, ranked 25th in the world, provides England with a valuable opportunity to address weaknesses and build confidence ahead of their European Championship title defense.
