Keira Walsh starts for England in their Women’s World Cup last-16 clash with Nigeria.
The midfielder travelled with the squad to Brisbane despite suffering a knee injury against Denmark last month.

There had been fears Walsh was set for a lengthy spell out of action but the Barcelona star makes a quick-fire return as England look to progress into the final eight.
Sarina Wiegman looks to have stuck with the system that saw the Lionesses put six past China to get their tournament up and running.
That saw her adopt a three at the back formation, allowing Lauren James and Lauren Hemp to both partner Alessia Russo in attack. The trio all start against Nigeria, with Rachel Daly and Lucy Bronze seemingly used as wing-backs again.
England XI: Earps, Bronze, Bright, Carter, Greenwood, Daly, Walsh, Stanway, James, Hemp, Russo
