WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The England boss told reporters: "She's still recovering. She's doing things on the pitch and we have two more days so we're going to give her time. I don't know yet [if she'll be ready], but that's what we're going to go for - 23 players available for the game on Sunday."</p><p><strong></strong></p>

WHAT WIEGMAN SAID
