England manager Sarina Wiegman will be absent from the dugout at St Mary's Stadium this evening after testing positive for Coronavirus.
The Lionesses are set to face Northern Ireland in Southampton at 8pm, having already progressed past the group stage as winners of Group A at the Women's Euro 2022 following a 1-0 victory over Austria at Old Trafford last Wednesday and an 8-0 thrashing of Norway at the AMEX Stadium on Monday.
The Football Association says Wiegman will now "undertake a period of recovery at the squad's base camp" with assistant coach Arjan Veurink set to take charge.

"Wiegman will remain in remote contact with the players and technical staff and will be monitored regularly with a view to returning to all elements of her role as soon as possible," the FA added.
The Lionesses will have four days to recover after this evening's clash with the already eliminated Northern Ireland, with their last eight fixture scheduled for Wednesday, July 20.
Wiegman's side will play against the runners-up of Group B which has Germany top, Spain in second, Denmark third and Finland bottom.
