We  can’t  wait  to  visit  in  November,  but  of  course  before  then  we  have  two  important
       fixtures to look forward to, starting next Saturday at Wembley Stadium against Northern
       Ireland.  All in all, it’s going to be a very exciting way to round off 2021!”
       England Under-23 squad
       England  are  to  play  an  Under-23  match  against  Belgium  as  Sarina  Wiegman  looks  to
       increase opportunities for promising players in the senior pathway. The Under-23s will
       travel to the Stade Leburton in Tubize for the international fixture on 25th October (kick
       off 1.30pm), with experienced coach Mo Marley returning to guide the squad on an interim
       basis.
            The training camp prior to departure will be at St George's Park under the guidance
       of Marley who will mentor Emma Coates and England's most capped player Fara Williams,
       alongside goalkeeper coach Tom Pressman to complete the coaching team.
            Kay Cossington, Head of Women's Technical, said: "Sarina and her staff want to
       bridge the gap between the age groups and the seniors, and after 18 months of limited
       international football in the women's game we can start to make up for lost opportunities.
            "Emma and Fara will benefit greatly from working with Mo on this camp, as part of
       our  commitment  to  helping  our  young  coaches  to  get  as  much  varied  experience  as
       possible. I am sure the players will relish the chance to be involved in international football
       and show what they can do."
