Lionesses face selection dilemmas ahead of Euro 2022 final rematch

Wiegman has a wealth of options to choose from for England's crunch clash with Germany

England's head coach Sarina Wiegman has a number of selection dilemmas to contend with ahead of the Lionesses' Euro 2022 final rematch with Germany.

The two sides will meet at Wembley Stadium on October 23 in a repeat of the Euro 2022 final, which Germany won 2-1.

Wiegman has a number of in-form players to choose from, but she will also have to consider the fitness of several key players.

One of the biggest decisions Wiegman will have to make is whether to start with Alessia Russo or Rachel Daly up front.

Russo has been in excellent form for Manchester United this season, scoring 11 goals in 10 appearances.

Daly, meanwhile, has been a key player for England in recent months, scoring the winning goal in the Lionesses' semi-final victory over Sweden at Euro 2022.

Another decision Wiegman will have to make is whether to start with Lauren James or Ella Toone on the left wing.

James has been in impressive form for Chelsea this season, scoring five goals in eight appearances.

Toone, meanwhile, has been a key player for England in recent months, and she scored the opening goal in the Lionesses' semi-final victory over Sweden at Euro 2022.

Wiegman will also have to consider the fitness of Millie Bright, who missed the semi-final victory over Sweden with a foot injury.

If Bright is fit, she is likely to start alongside Alex Greenwood in central defence.

However, if Bright is not fit, Wiegman could be forced to make changes to her defence.

One option would be to start with Niamh Charles at centre-back, alongside Alex Greenwood.

Another option would be to move Lucy Bronze into central defence, and start Niamh Charles at right-back.

Wiegman will also have to decide whether to start with Georgia Stanway or Keira Walsh in central midfield.

Stanway has been in excellent form for Bayern Munich this season, scoring three goals in nine appearances.

Walsh, meanwhile, has been a key player for England in recent months, and she played a starring role in the Lionesses' semi-final victory over Sweden at Euro 2022.

Wiegman has a number of talented players to choose from, but she will have to make some tough decisions ahead of the Lionesses' crunch clash with Germany.
