Renée Slegers has made six changes to the starting XI for this evening’s FIFA Women’s Champions Cup semi-final against ASFAR.
Smilla Holmberg, Laia Codina, Taylor Hinds, Victoria Pelova, Frida Maanum and Olivia Smith all come into the side, the latter returning from suspension.
They replace Emily Fox, Steph Catley, Katie McCabe, Kim Little, Alessia Russo and Caitlin Foord.
The players keeping their place in the line-up from Saturday’s 2-0 win at Chelsea are Anneke Borbe, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Mariona Caldentey, Beth Mead and Stina Blackstenius.
Kick-off is at 6pm at Brentford Stadium as we look to book our place in Sunday’s final against Corinthians, who beat Gotham FC 1-0 earlier today.
