England Women XI vs Czech Republic: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Lionesses today

England Women are without Georgia Stanway tonight as the Lionesses take on the Czech Republic in a friendly match.

Stanway is still recovering from the win over the USA on Friday evening and is not be ready in time for the game in Brighton.

That allows Ella Toone to start in midfield ahead of Manchester United teammate Katie Zelem.

“About the fitness of the team, almost everyone is fit,” said England head coach Sarina Wiegman on Monday morning. “The one question mark is Georgia Stanway, so we will assess her.

“Everyone else is fit to play. We will do some rotations, but don’t expect 11 other players on the pitch. She (Stanway) is okay, but actually still recovering from the game on Friday. She needs a little more time.”

Wiegman has opted against rotating her goalkeepers tonight against the Czechs, with Ellie Roebuck still benched behind Mary Earps.

Young striker Ebony Salmon is also on the bench as Demi Stokes and Lauren James are picked to start.

England Women XI: Earps; Bronze, Bright, Greenwood, Stokes; Walsh, Toone; James, Kirby, Kelly; Hemp.

Subs: Roebuck, Maciver, Morgan, Zelem, Wubben-Moy, Carter, Parris, Park, Daly, Mead, Salmon.
