Kelly’s place in England squad ‘wasn’t in doubt,’ Wiegman says
Man City and England's Chloe Kelly

ENGLAND boss Sarina Wiegman says Chloe Kelly’s place in the squad was not in doubt, despite the winger’s recent lack of minutes for Manchester City.

Kelly was an unused substitute for City’s last two matches, the 2-0 Champions League win over Barcelona last Wednesday and Sunday’s 2-1 victory at Liverpool in the Women’s Super League.

The 26-year-old famously scored England’s winner in their Euro 2022 final victory over Germany at Wembley and has made Wiegman’s 25-player squad for a friendly against the same opposition at the same venue a week on Friday.
