Niamh Charles and Beth England drop out of England Women’s squad with Covid | Football News

Niamh Charles and Beth England have withdrawn from England duty after testing positive for Covid.

Both players were asymptomatic and did not come into contact with other members of the squad at St George’s Park.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman has opted not to call up any replacements for the World Cup qualifiers against North Macedonia on Friday April 8 and Northern Ireland on Tuesday April 12.

Wiegman’s assistant, Arjan Vurink, has also tested positive for the virus ahead of joining up with the squad.

There is hope the trio will be able to be part of the group for the Northern Ireland fixture, but it will depend on how they test over the coming days.
