Lionesses set to play Germany in friendly next month

The Lionesses are set to play a friendly against Germany next month.

The England team will face the two-time world champions at the Brita-Arena in Wiesbaden on Tuesday, 27 October.

Last November, in front of a record 77,768 crowd at Wembley Stadium England were defeated 2-1 by Germany.

BBC Sports reports England head coach Phil Neville said: "I know the players are so hungry to pull on an England shirt again and this is a good test to see where we are early in the new season against strong opposition.”

"Germany away is a tough challenge, but we know what we are capable of producing. I'm sure the players are excited about testing themselves against one of the best teams in the world."
