🔗 Share this article The Lionesses versus China – Women's Friendly Match Overview Hello and welcome to the non-competitive fixture between the English side and China at Wembley Stadium. This promises to be an exciting contest with the European Championship holders competing against the current Asian Cup champions. The home of English football is fully booked for the event, which will see Fran Kirby honored pre-match after her international retirement before the Euros this past summer. Squad announcements will be announced shortly, but there was a recent squad update for England. On Friday, the goalkeeper Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a slight knock, and so ex-first choice Ellie Roebuck has been called up. With Hannah Hampton out of action, it will be intriguing to observe who the Lionesses' coach Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. This information and additional developments are on the way before the start of the match at 5.30pm GMT. Squad Updates The team news is in. Anna Moorhouse is the starting keeper for England in the absence of Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating. England's starting eleven: Moorhouse, Bronze, Charles, Walsh, Le Tissier, Morgan, Mead, Stanway, Russo, Toone, Hemp. Bench: Hings, Baggaley, Kendall, Wubben-Moy, Beever-Jones, Kelly, Kearns, Park, Blindkilde Brown, Roebuck, Clinton, Denton, Fisk, Godfrey. We are awaiting the squad from China now; as soon as I have it, I will post it. Leadership Role Keira Walsh is serving as captain for the Lionesses with Leah Williamson still injured.
