The countdown to Great Britain’s Tokyo Olympics women’s football campaign will begin in earnest on Thursday when Hege Riise’s squad for the Games is announced. There could be a number of players featuring who were part of the squad for the London 2012 Olympics. And another player who would be making a GB return is Scotland and Arsenal midfielder Kim Little. That was the third of three friendlies for the Lionesses with Riise as interim head coach, after Phil Neville – who had been in line for the GB job – stepped down as England boss in January. The Norwegian was also United States assistant boss when they were crowned champions at London 2012.
