England Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman believes there were “so many positives” to come from the side’s camp in Spain.
Maya Le Tissier won her third cap in Friday night’s 7-2 win against Austria and was an unused substitute in yesterday’s 5-1 victory against Italy.
The #Lionesses boss on a positive week away! ????????

Qualifying for Euro 2025 gets under way in April.
Le Tissier was among a crop of players to get a chance to impress alongside the likes of Hannah Hampton, Esme Morgan, Grace Clinton, Lotte Wubben-Moy, and Millie Turner.
When asked whether this camp answered some of the questions she had, Wiegman said: “You never know because things in football can change quickly but it gave us many answers to questions we had.
Thanks for your support, #Lionesses fans!

“We could take this opportunity to see so many players play two good games and also to train – along with seeing the Under-23s – so there have been many positives about this week.”
A lot of things had pleased her about the camp, she said.
“We had the opportunity to play many players, basically everyone except for Fran Kirby who had to go home [and young goalkeeper Khiara Keating].
“We got to see the level and see players in some positions and the connections between players and the competitiveness of each other.
“When you have two such good wins as we did tonight and last Friday, it's really nice.”

Le Tissier played the full game on Friday at right back, setting up Rachel Daly for the final goal of the night in injury time.
She also saw a good header saved.
