When Sarina Wiegman spoke to the media in the build-up to tonight’s quarter-final against Spain she was asked whether England felt any additional pressure now that the tournament has reached the knockout stages and a defeat means elimination.

Wiegman responded that there is always pressure when playing against the best teams in Europe and that the Lionesses are focused are their tasks at hand which will hopefully bring them success.

Take a look:

Defender Demi Stokes is expected to be fit for this game, after missing the Northern Ireland match with a knee injury but she will be assessed to make sure.

Second choice goalkeeper Hannah Hampton will miss out after testing positive for Covid-19 and the FA said the 21-year-old Aston Villa player would be “monitored regularly with a view to returning to the squad as soon as possible”.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman also missed the Northern Ireland that game due to Covid but hopes to be fit enought to return to the dugout this evening.

After a slow start to their Euro 2022 campaign, when they edged past Austria 1-0, England have been in incredible form in their last two group games.

An 8-0 mauling of Norway was followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Northern Ireland to put Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses top of Group A.

They kick off the quarter-final stage against Spain who finished second in Group B with victories over Finland and Denmark and a loss to Germany in the group stages.

Who will be the first team into the semi-finals?

Their 14 goals scored in the group stage was the most by one team in a Women’s European Championship. Their eight against Norway secured the biggest win in this tournament’s history, breaking their own record. Another rout against Northern Ireland made them the first to score five or more in consecutive Euros games. These records, smashed in the space of 10 days or so, are all the more impressive given the fact they kept three straight clean sheets at the other end.

If their last three games of this tournament go as well as the first three, England will win their first Women’s Euro at a canter.

If only it were that simple. Sarina Wiegman’s side may have made things look easy up to this point but they are about to become a whole lot harder. Expectations were high to start with but now they are even higher. All the good work of the group stage will be for nothing if the journey ends before the Wembley final a week on Sunday. And even if the Lionesses’ odds of glory have shortened drastically, making them well-fancied to go all the way, most people’s pre-tournament favourites await in the quarter-finals.

Mark Critchley breaks down England’s latest challenge:

England and Spain will battle it out for a place in the last four at Euro 2022 when the quarter-finals get under way on Wednesday evening.

Sarina Wiegman’s side, who plundered 14 goals in their three Group A matches, will take on a side ranked one place above them by FIFA at Brighton’s Amex Stadium as they continue their quest for glory.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what lies ahead.

England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton has tested positive for coronavirus ahead of Wednesday’s Euro 2022 quarter-final against Spain.

The Football Association said the 21-year-old Aston Villa player would be “monitored regularly with a view to returning to the squad as soon as possible”.

Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman did not attend last Friday’s 5-0 group-stage win over Northern Ireland at St Mary’s following a positive Covid test, and she may well be absent again for Wednesday’s contest at the Amex Stadium.

On Monday the Dutchwoman watched training from a distance with a mask on.

Twice-capped Hampton, who has been on the bench for England’s three Euros games so far, is the second player in the squad to test positive for the virus during the campaign, with defender Lotte Wubben-Moy having also done so before missing the second match, against Norway.

Sarina Wiegman is “very hopeful” of being on the touchline for England’s Euro 2022 quarter-final against Spain and feels well enough to return after her bout of Covid-19.

Wiegman tested positive on Friday and was forced to communicate with her technical staff remotely during the 5-0 win over Northern Ireland, which saw assistant Arjan Veurink taking charge.

The England head coach has been tested daily while watching training from afar to remain involved in preparations for Wednesday’s meeting with pre-tournament favourites Spain.

Wiegman will be able to resume her duties if she produces a negative test before the last-eight clash at the Amex Stadium. Hannah Hampton, England’s third-choice goalkeeper, also tested positive on Tuesday.

“I’m good, I’m feeling well. I’m actually ready to go but still have to wait,” Wiegman said. “I’m very hopeful but we’ll see what happens. We know if I can’t be there, I’ll be around in another way.”
