So that means Walsh starts her second successive game in the competition and will be supported by a defence of Endo, Tysiak, Zadorsky, who will wear the captain’s armband in place of Katrina Gorry, and Hanshaw.
Brasero and Csiki will likely marshal the midfield together and hope to help create opportunities for the interchangeable front four of Paví, Wandeler, Martinez and Piubel.
Skinner has nine substitutes on her bench at Chigwell Construction Stadium: goalkeeper Kinga Szemik, defenders Anouk Denton, Eva Nyström and Selin Cemal, midfielders Oona Siren and Halle Houssein, and forwards Riko Ueki, Viviane Asseyi and Emily Taylor-Brown.
If the two teams cannot be separated after 90 minutes, the game will go to a penalty shootout and the winner of the shootout will receive an extra point.
