England hope to have coach Sarina Wiegman back on the touchline on Wednesday Euro 2022 Quarterfinals against Spain after testing positive Covid-19 on Friday.
Wiegman’s condition is said to have improved greatly on Saturday and she was able to follow training remotely with her mask on.
Spain will give England their toughest test yet, but strikers Lauren Hemp and Beth Mead are likely to find joy behind the high line of their defence.

Wiegman has led England to three wins out of three so far but recently signed Covid
Spain manager Jorge Vilda will be without his best player, winger Alexia Putellas, saying: “I think it’s going to be the toughest game of the Euros given the level England are playing at – and that they’re hosting, their fans are behind them – but that’s something that drives us.
“We like challenges.”
England have already scored 14 goals in just three games in this tournament, helped by last Monday’s 8-0 win against Norway.
They have not conceded a goal either and are among the favorites to win the competition on home soil.
