England give ‘many answers to questions’ from friendly wins, says Sarina Wiegman

Sarina Wiegman says England have given “many answers to questions we had” in friendly victories over Austria and Italy this month.

The Lionesses, who are preparing for Euro 2025 qualifiers in April, beat Italy 5-1 on Tuesday after thrashing Austria 7-2 on Friday.

Their fine displays capped a successful warm weather training camp in Spain alongside England’s Under-23s squad.

“I think the whole camp pleased me,” Wiegman told ITV Sport.

The Euro 2025 qualifying draw takes place on 5 March at 12:00 GMT.

Wiegman added: “We had the opportunity to play many players – basically everyone except for [the injured] Fran Kirby – see what the level is, see players in some positions and see the connection between players.

“When you have two wins like we have – that’s really nice too.”

Asked if she had learned a lot before the first qualifiers in April, the England boss added: “You never know because things in football can change quickly, but it gave us many answers to questions we had at this moment.

“We could take this opportunity to see many players and play two good games, train also and see the under-23s. Very, many positives about this week.”
