Defender is equally happy at centre-back or left-back and says the squad’s adaptability is ‘definitely a strength of ours’
Alex Greenwood believes the versatility of England players is a key strength going into the World Cup. “We’ve got players who can play in a number of positions, and obviously in a tournament that can go on for seven games it can be important that you’ve got fresh players in different parts of the pitch,” she says. “It’s definitely a strength of ours and something we’ll utilise.”
The Lionesses play their opening match against Haiti next Saturday and on Friday evening played a behind-closed-doors friendly against Canada, which ended 0-0, at the Sunshine Coast Stadium. Only two players didn’t appear in a game featuring unlimited substitutes able to roll on and off, with the goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck and the forward Bethany England both unused while Millie Bright had her first minutes of action since March.
