The Lionesses versus the Chinese team – Women's Exhibition Match

Overview

Hello and welcome to the exhibition match between the English side and the Chinese squad at the iconic Wembley. The match is set to be a thriller with the European Championship holders facing the holders of the Asian Cup title.

The home of English football is packed for the match, which will see the celebrated Fran Kirby honored pre-match after her international retirement before the European Championship this past summer.

Lineup details will be revealed soon, but there was a last minute squad update for England. On Friday, Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a minor injury, and so former number one Ellie Roebuck has been called up.

With Hannah Hampton unavailable, it will be notable to find out who the Lionesses' coach Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. That news and all the other updates are on the way before the opening whistle at 5.30pm GMT.
