How England's Lionesses should line up vs China in 2023 Women's World Cup: Jordan Nobbs deserves a chance after Keira Walsh injury

How do you replace a player who is irreplaceable? After star midfielder Keira Walsh was stretchered off against Denmark, that's the task England head coach Sarina Wiegman has on her hands as the Lionesses prepare to face China in their final group game of the Women's World Cup. Her team need a point against the Asian champions to reach the last 16, and it'd be a huge shock if they didn't get it, even with Walsh's absence a huge blow.

But who will Wiegman trust to take control in the middle of the park for this match? In Friday's game, it was Laura Coombs that she introduced to replace Walsh, with Georgia Stanway dropping into the deeper midfield role. She may choose to make a different decision on Tuesday, though, with Jordan Nobbs well in contention to start after a really impressive second half of the season at Aston Villa. The 30-year-old joined the club from Arsenal in January and has shown excellent form since.

That's not the only decision Wiegman has to ponder, either. She changed her defence for the Denmark meeting, moving Alex Greenwood into the centre after she'd played on the left against Haiti and putting striker Rachel Daly in at full-back. Will she stick with the same back four this time?

There are also questions further up the pitch. Lauren James came in for Lauren Hemp in that last outing, while Alessia Russo and Ella Toone are still both struggling to find form.

So, what should Wiegman's starting XI look like for this important clash with China? GOAL has its say...
