What’s the team news?

Fran Kirby will hope to make her 50th appearance for England when her team takes on Latvia.

Throughout her career, Kirby has battled with injury and illness. She was diagnosed with pericarditis in April 2020 and admitted that she contemplated telling her Chelsea manager, Emma Hayes, and the then England manager, Phil Neville, that she was done with football.

Kirby won bronze at the 2015 World up and was part of the Great Britain squad at last summer’s Olympic Games.

The 28-year-old is also on the shortlist for the 2021 Women’s Ballon d’Or award, alongside England and Manchester City striker Ellen White.

Speaking ahead of the match, Kirby said “It’s been a rollercoaster for sure but it’s a journey I’m really proud of and one I think looking back I wouldn’t change a lot.

It does take you back to those memories of getting your first cap, getting your 50th and playing in those big tournaments.

I love playing for England, wearing the shirt and playing in big tournaments against big teams.”

There are no injury concerns in the England camp, and it is possible that England boss Sarina Wiegman will start Beth Mead off the bench after her hat-trick at Wembley on Saturday.
