England manager Sarina Wiegmann explains the bizarre admin gaffe sees Lucy Bronze barred from entering pitch as substitute
According to the International Football Association Board's laws of the game, 'only the players and substitutes named on the team list may take part in the match upon their arrival.'
The Manchester United duo were two of 10 changes made by Wiegman to the team that drew 0-0 with the United States at Wembley last Saturday. Speaking after the contest, Wiegman was pleased with how her young stars played but lamented the team's drop-off in the second half. "I was really happy with that because what we wanted to do, with a very young team, some debuts , some starts for the first time , one starter that hadn't played for us in six years , so many changes, but I thought that was a very good half."I think the second half our level dropped, we were more sloppy, we didn't find the box well enough. They did some different things, but I still think we were not as good aligned as we were first half.
