George Eyes England Success

Everton Ladies defender Gabby George says this week’s Nordic Tournament will prove a useful barometer for England Under-23s.

The Lionesses’ Next Gen group are in Sweden to play three fixtures against some of the strongest international sides at that age group. On Tuesday they face the hosts, before taking on USA on Friday (9 June) and Norway on Monday (12 June).

George, in her first full season as an Under-23 international, is targeting three straight wins in the competition and hopes that by doing so, the squad lays a foundation going forward.

“I have played in the Nordic Tournament before at Under-17s level and it is a great opportunity to play against top quality sides,” said the 20-year-old.
