England manager Sarina Wiegman says it is "very important" her team remain patient if the goals do not come quickly in their 2027 Women's World Cup qualifier against Iceland on Saturday. The Lionesses start as favourites for the match as they aim for a second successive qualifying win following their 6-1 victory over Ukraine on Tuesday. All seven goals were scored in the second half of that match, with England not finding a breakthrough in Antalya until the 47th minute. "It's very important. That's what we showed on Tuesday," Wiegman told her media conference on Friday on the importance of trusting that the goals will come against Iceland.
