The Arsenal defender credited Sarina Wiegman's guidance after making her first competitive Lionesses start since 2021

When Lotte Wubben-Moy walked out at Wembley against Sweden there can be little doubt about the pride she was feeling. Named in England's starting lineup in a competitive match for the first time since November 2021, a long and patient wait over, the 25-year-old defender finally had her chance.

Entering the field hand in hand with her boyfriend Tao Geoghegan Hart's sister will have been a memorable moment. "It's a very special feeling for both me and my family," says the England defender. "I had my partner's little sister walking out with me so that was super special. Unfortunately, we didn't have the cherry on top in terms of getting the win tonight but this is something for me personally to build on. There are a lot of relationships for me to gel together. I hope this is the start of many more.
