Lionesses lose their leader

England continued their preparations for Friday’s friendly against world champions the United States with Millie Bright (left) and Lauren Hemp tangling during a training session at Teddington. However, the European champions suffered a setback in the build-up to the match at a sold-out Wembley with captain Leah Williamson ruled out after suffering an injury during training. England, who were already without Alessia Russo and Lucy Parker, have called up Lotte Wubben-moy and Nikita Parris as replacements.
