Hello and welcome to the non-competitive fixture between England and the Chinese squad at London’s Wembley. An exciting encounter is anticipated with the current Euro titleholders facing the holders of the Asian Cup title.
The home of English football is fully booked for the occasion, which will see Fran Kirby honored pre-match after her departure from the England squad before the Euros this past summer.
Squad announcements will be announced shortly, but there was a late squad update for England. On Friday, the goalkeeper Khiara Keating withdrew from the squad with a slight knock, and so former number one Ellie Roebuck has been called up.
With Hannah Hampton injured, it will be intriguing to observe who the Lionesses' coach Sarina Wiegman selects in goal. This information and additional developments are incoming before the opening whistle at 17:30 GMT.
Squad details are now available. Anna Moorhouse is the starting keeper for England in the non-presence of Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating.
England: Moorhouse, Bronze, Charles, Walsh, Le Tissier, Morgan, Mead, Stanway, Russo, Toone, Hemp.
Reserves: Hings, Baggaley, Kendall, Wubben-Moy, Beever-Jones, Kelly, Kearns, Park, Blindkilde Brown, Roebuck, Clinton, Denton, Fisk, Godfrey.
Details are being sought for the squad from China now; when it comes through, I will post it.
Keira Walsh is leading the Lionesses with Leah Williamson still injured. Here’s what she had to say before this clash:

The upcoming fixture will be Anna Moorhouse's first appearance for England. She belonged to the European Championship squad who claimed victory this past summer, but she remained on the bench with Hannah Hampton in the first-choice keeper position.
