""She was really enjoying it and the step up. Unfortunately she picked up this small injury so that's disappointing, mainly for her," said Wiegman. "That's the way it is and it's good she had that opportunity to train at least. That's the good thing about it - but I just hope she gets fit again really quickly and is available for Liverpool soon.""
"Fisk is the latest defender to be unavailable to Wiegman, who is already missing several centre-backs. Captain Leah Williamson is recovering from the knee injury she picked up at Euro 2025, while Arsenal teenager Reid pulled out of last month's friendlies when she suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Manchester City's Alex Greenwood is also injured and Jess Carter was given a rest following Gotham FC's National Women's Soccer League Championship final victory over Washington Spirit."
Grace Fisk injured her calf in training and will miss England's friendly against Ghana. The 27-year-old had been named in Sarina Wiegman's original squad after being called into the pool during the October window following Katie Reid's withdrawal. The injury prevents her from winning her first England cap. Leah Williamson is recovering from a knee injury from Euro 2025, Katie Reid suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Alex Greenwood is injured and Jess Carter was rested after the NWSL Championship final. Maya Le Tissier could start her fourth successive match, likely alongside Esme Morgan or Lotte Wubben-Moy. All three played in England's 8-0 win over China. England will begin 2027 World Cup qualification next year while continuing a four-game homecoming.
