England head coach, Sarina Wiegman, has confirmed that Kiera Walsh is in line to play in the Women’s World Cup last-16 clash with Nigeria on Monday.There were concerns Walsh would not play again at the tournament after being forced off against Denmark with a knee problem.
But a scan allayed those fears, and the Barcelona midfielder returned to team training on Sunday before flying with the rest of the squad to Brisbane to face the Super Falcons. When asked for an update on the 26-year-old, Wiegman told reporters: “She’s doing well. She started her rehab straight after we knew what was going on.
“She has been on the pitch, she has been training today, now we are waiting to see how she recovered from that training session and if she does well then she is available for tomorrow.”
