I’m sure you’re curious about which of your favourite Arsenal Women players have been making an impression on international duty. Well, here’s a roundup of our girls on international duty this week:
Leah Williamson (61 minutes), Alessia Russo (73 minutes), and Beth Mead (82 minutes) all started in England’s 3-4 friendly loss to Germany.
Katie McCabe (90 minutes) impressed versus Georgia in the first leg of round 1 of the 2025 Euro qualifiers. McCabe scored two goals (one penalty) and assisted 2 others in a game the Girls in Green won 6-0.
In the Spain versus Canada friendly, Mariona Caldentey (90 minutes) and Laia Codina (90 minutes) featured as Spain played out to a 1-1 draw.
Swedish duo Rosa Kafaji (66 minutes) and Stina Blackstenius (82 minutes) both started for Sweden versus Luxembourg in that first leg of round 1 of the 2025 Euro qualifiers. Blackstenius scored as Sweden won 4-0.
As Australia and Switzerland met in a friendly match that ended in a 1-1 draw, Lia Walti (90 minutes) captained the Swiss, as Caitlin Foord (90 minutes) and Kyra Cooney-Cross (78 minutes) both started while Steph Catley came off the bench in the 65th minute of that game.
Frida Maanum (61 minutes) continued her fine form this campaign; she scored for Norway in the 0-5 win over Albania as the two clashed in the first leg of the 2025 Euro qualifiers.
Kathrine Kühl made a cameo appearance in the Denmark versus South Africa friendly. She came on in the 69th minute and scored in that 5-0 win.
Emily Fox started (66 minutes) and featured in the USA’s 3-1 friendly win over Iceland.
Manuela Zinsberger (90 minutes), who’s been warming the bench at Arsenal for the last couple of games, kept a clean sheet as her Austrian side beat Slovenia 0-3 in the first leg of round 1 of the 2025 Euro qualifiers.
