England's Lionesses Prepare for Germany Showdown

England's Lionesses are facing Germany in a friendly match at Wembley, as part of their Euro 2025 preparations, following their historic 2022 European Championship victory against the same opponents. Sarina Wiegman is focused on reshaping the team amidst challenges, including a disappointing Nations League performance and a failure to qualify for the Paris Olympics, despite reaching the World Cup final. Key players like Lauren James, Fran Kirby, and Lotte Wubben-May are out due to injuries, and Wiegman has made a significant change by replacing goalkeeper Mary Earps with Hannah Hampton. Historically, Germany has dominated this fixture, but recent years have seen a shift in favor of England, highlighting the growing rivalry. The Lionesses aim to continue their upward trajectory and solidify their status as equals to Germany on the international stage.
