Wiegman’s side have now taken just four points from their first three qualifiers and trail Group A3 leaders France by five points and Sweden on goal difference. “Yes, we know that we have to do well to go higher in the group, that’s a fact.” England, who had lost keeper Mary Earps to injury just minutes after kick-off, looked to be in the driving seat when Beth Mead fired them into a 30th-minute lead. As I said, I think it is a very unnecessary loss and that makes it even more disappointing.” Wiegman’s disappointment was compounded by Earps’ hip injury, the extent of which remains to be determined.
