The Lionesses reported their defender is now 'conscious and talking and is being monitored by our medical staff.'
Alex Greenwood was carried off on a stretcher after crashing heads with a Belgium player during England’s Nations League match on Thursday night.
England's defender was treated by medics on the pitch for about 10 minutes before being taken off on a stretcher, with Jess Carter coming on as her replacement. Lionesses' boss Sarina Wiegman, whose side had beaten the Belgians 1-0 in Leicester last Friday, told ITV: “This was a game I think we should have been tighter on the ball.
She added: “We were sloppy on the ball and they were ready for that. We have to be tight, especially in the build and create, at moments we don’t expect to lose the ball, and we didn’t do that good enough today. That’s a hard lesson for us.”
