England XI vs Nigeria: Expected line-up, confirmed team news and Keira Walsh’s latest injury
The midfielder traveled to Brisbane with the team despite picking up a knee injury against Denmark last month.
There were fears Walsh would be out for a long time but the Barcelona star could make a quick return as England look to advance to the last eight.
Sarina Wiegman could also stick with the system that saw the Lionesses score six goals against China to get their tournament going.
This led to her forming a three-man formation in defence, allowing Lauren James and Lauren Hemp to join forces with Alessia Russo in attack.
Estimated England XI: ears; Carter, Bright, Greenwood; Bronze, Stanway, Walsh, Daly; James; Russo, hemp
Doubt: Walsh (knee)
Injured: Mead, Williamson, Kirby
time and date: 8:30am BST on Monday 7 August 2023
Venue: Brisbane Stadium; Brisbane
