Kirby was in the training squad for last Friday’s 8-0 thrashing of North Macedonia but was rested after she had reduced training sessions to ‘manage her load’.
With Kirby back in the side, manager Sarina Wiegman will be hoping they convert as many chances as in their last qualifier, with Luxembourg unlikely to be any more defensively resilient than North Macedonia were.
The boss said: “Of course we want to score more and get that percentage higher. [In training] we have focused on switching play more, stretching them and the timing of crosses and runs - to stay calm, stay composed, in the final touch or final pass.
“When you’re connected, composed and calm, the chances will be higher.”
Here’s all you need to know about the qualifier for the 2023 World Cup.
When is it?
The match will kick-off at 7.15pm BST on Tuesday, 21 September.
