Beth England says playing at Wembley for the Lionesses would be a ‘special moment’ after the disappointment of being left on the bench two years ago.
The Chelsea striker was an unused substitute for England’s 3-0 defeat by Germany in 2019 and is desperate for a chance to play for her country when they take on Northern Ireland at the national stadium on Saturday.
England is likely to start on the sidelines once again with Ellen White, who is three goals away from matching Kelly Smith’s all-time scoring record, expected to start up front.
