It’s been a nervy tournament so far for England, who came from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals. Build-up to this semi-final has been marred by the news that Jess Carter has been the subject of online racist abuse, with the defender announcing she would be stepping back from social media as a result. The Lionesses have also confirmed they will no longer take the knee before matches, saying: ‘It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism.’ Sarina Wiegman has a couple of selection dilemmas to deal with, including whether or not to drop Carter who struggled in the victory over Sweden. Captain Leah Williamson came off with an ankle injury during the quarter-final and returned to training on Monday but it remains to be seen if she is fit enough to start.
