Arsenal Women’s Russo & Wubben-Moy start for Lionesses v Italy, but Mead’s on the bench

Arsenal Women’s Beth Mead, Alessia Russo & Lotte Wubben-Moy are currently on international duty with the Lionesses, playing friendlies in Spain. Arsenal’s Leah Williamson withdrew from the Lionesses squad due to a slight injury. This evening’s Lioness captain will be Keira Walsh.

Sarina Wiegman’s starting XI is detailed below, but the fact that Beth Mead is on the bench is a bit of a shocker!

Arsenal’s Mead & Russo both started against Austria, while Wubben-Moy came on at half-time. The Lionesses won the game 7-2, with Mead scoring 2 goals & Russo scoring 2 goals and an assist. Russo & Wubben-Moy both start today but Mead may be subbed on through the game.
