There were fears Walsh would be sidelined for a long time but the Barcelona star is making a quick comeback as England look to advance to the last eight.
Sarina Wiegman seems to have stuck 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. The trio all start against Nigeria, with Rachel Daly and Lucy Bronze appearing to return as full-backs.
England XI: Earps, Bronze, Bright, Carter, Greenwood, Daly, Walsh, Stanway, James, Hemp, Russo
