THE BIGGER PICTURE

Manager Andries Jonker said: "I spoke with Viv and Arsenal and looked at the possibilities. Vivianne trains with the group at Arsenal and she can also train with the group with us. If that goes well, it is possible that I use her in the group. games against Scotland."

WHAT THEY SAID

Miedema will hope to prove her fitness and get on the pitch for the Netherlands, although her club will surely be sweating on the outcome if she isn't fully fit.
