England Women head coach Sarina Wiegman is confident her squad will be ready to challenge for the Euros this summer. Ahead of the tournament on home turf, England will welcome Canada, Spain and Germany for the Arnold Clark Cup this month as they step up their preparations for the European Championship. All three are FIFA-ranked top-10 sides and will be the toughest competition Wiegman and her team have come up against since the former Netherlands coach stepped into the role last summer. Wiegman said: “When you go to a tournament, you want to win the tournament, just like all other teams, and there are lots of teams that would be able to do that or should be able to win the Euros because the game has developed so much.“Now more and more countries are (among) the favourites in this tournament.“I think the games are going to be again on a higher level than the tournament four years ago or the World Cup that the European teams played in too. “We have a plan. We now have this tournament, which we really need to know where we are at this point and what we need to do to become better as an individual and as a team, and then hopefully we'll, I'm convinced, we'll be ready on July 6 and we should be playing the best we can.”The Arnold Clark Cup will begin with England hosting Olympic gold medalists Canada in Middlesbrough on February 17.Three days later they will host Spain in Norwich followed by Germany in Wolverhampton on February 23.(Photo: Lynne Cameron – The FA/The FA via Getty Images)
