England’s Lionesses return to action with the first of back-to-back meetings with Belgium football in the Nations League.
England host the first fixture at Ashton Gate in Bristol on Friday before travelling to Leuven for the return outing on Tuesday.
Sarina Wiegman’s side have made a solid start in Group A3 with a win and a draw from their opening two games, though a win may be a must here with a tricky trip to Spain to come later in the group stages.
The visitors have narrowly lost their meetings with Spain and Portugal so far, though came close to beating the world champions only to be sunk by two stoppage-time goals in Valencia in February.
