Defender Alex Greenwood, midfielder Georgia Stanway and forward Lauren Hemp are among those already missing through injury, but Wiegman was in a positive mood as she previewed Friday’s match.<\/p>\n
England began their Women’s Nations League campaign with a draw in Portugal before beating world champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley in February.<\/p>\n
Several Lionesses players have been in good form recently, including Arsenal striker Alessia Russo, who is the WSL’s second top scorer this season.<\/p>\n
“What we have seen [since] the last camp, has been many competitive games. It has been really enjoyable to watch and you saw the level went up again,” said Wiegman. <\/p>\n
“There have been big challenges with games involving many England players, so that was really good to see.<\/p>\n
“You could see a lot of players grew in confidence and are in a good place.”<\/p>\n
England captain Leah Williamson, who plays alongside Russo at Arsenal, agreed that the forward is playing with self-belief.<\/p>\n
Russo has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season and is the top scorer in the Women’s Champions League.<\/p>\n
“I think everyone will always say how nice a person Alessia is and everyone wants to see her do well for that reason,” said Williamson. <\/p>\n
“But to be a number nine in any team you do have to have that sort of – not arrogance – but confidence about you. <\/p>\n
“We all want to see Alessia playing the way she is and I hope she carries that on because she deserves it as a human and works hard for it. <\/p>\n
“We know what a talent she is. When she is scoring goals, she is getting confidence and is giving back to the team. The team appreciates it as well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
