Wiegman, however, remained silent on whether she will stick with a back three.

There were concerns Walsh would not play again at the tournament after being forced off against Denmark with a knee problem.

However, she has been cleared fit for the Monday encounter against the Super Falcons of Nigeria by the English medics.

When asked for an update on the 26-year-old, Wiegman told reporters: “She’s doing well. She started her rehab straight after we knew what was going on.
