FRIENDLY WARNING

Wiegman Lionesses in race to get in top shape

- NEIL MOXLEY

THE LIONESSES head into their final World Cup build-up game today with boss Sarina Wiegman hinting her players are undercooked.

A sold-out Stadium MK will be hoping to give the reigning European champions a glorious send-off ahead of the tournament later this month in Australia and New Zealand.

Fellow World Cup qualifiers Portugal will be looking to spoil the party on what is the only official fixture the Lionesses have before their opening group game against Haiti on July 22.

A friendly against Canada, which will be played behind closed doors, has been written into their schedule after Wiegman’s squad arrive in Australia.

But FIFA rules forbid any official game in the country ahead of a major tournament, meaning that England have no other opponents lined up.
