Squad back together for two games in inaugural Nations League‘Not good that some players only had six day off’ says head coach
Sarina Wiegman has said she is “very worried” about the state of the international calendar, with England players back in camp in order to prepare for two Nations League games less than a month after their World Cup final loss to Spain.
“I was worried before the World Cup, and we knew it was a short turnaround. We really have to get connected with Fifa and Uefa to make that better,” Wiegman said. “The game is growing, which is really good, but it has to grow together and players need some rest too. Next week they come in and some players only had six days off, which after such a high-pressure competition is not good for them.” The Arsenal duo of Lotte Wubben-Moy and Alessia Russo have played in competitive Champions League qualifiers against Paris FC since returning from Australia.
