England Women’s head coach Sarina Wiegman admits that Chloe Kelly’s lack of minutes is a “concern” ahead of facing the USA and Switzerland.
The 26-year-old, who scored the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final against Germany, has been included in the latest national team squad despite starting only once for Manchester City in the WSL this season.
“I think it’s a concern right now already, but it’s a hard situation. Competition at Manchester City is high,” Wiegman said at the squad announcement on Tuesday.
“It’s also looking at what options we have available, Lauren James is injured, Lauren Hemp is injured, Chloe knows she’s not in a great position at club right now, but she’s got enough [credit] with us.”
