Greece vs England: How Ella Toone’s Lionesses snub could boost her World Cup chances

Ella Toone was left out of England’s squad for the Greece play-offs after a difficult start to the season; she has responded positively; Sarina Wiegman has been impressed as midfield competition intensifies.

Ella Toone may have started this international break on the outside looking in, but she looks set to emerge from it with her chances of making it to Brazil next summer strengthened.

Toone was dropped for the World Cup play-off games against Greece after struggling for form at the start of the season with Manchester United.

England head coach Sarina Wiegman admitted Toone's performances had not been up to the expected standard and laid down a challenge for the two-time Euros winner.
