Only 18 of the 24 players can appear in the match
Kerri Welsh selected 24 players for the camp. Eighteen are available for the match, while Hannah Kirk, Jessica Philps, Amie Bush, Lacey-Rose Fenn, Dinara Shikhshabekova and Imarn Nugent will take part in training only.
Belgium provide the final test before November
Welsh said Belgium would provide a tough test before November’s qualifiers. England can use the match to examine pressing, passes through midfield and defending corner kicks.
The Young Lionesses will meet Belarus, Hungary and hosts Denmark in Group A7 from 28 November to 4 December. The short qualifying schedule makes clear communication important from the first match.
All three competitive matches will be played during one week in Denmark. England therefore need a clear plan for changing the starting team while keeping the same defensive instructions and passing patterns.
The result is useful only when it improves preparation
England need to see how the midfield responds when Belgium block central passes and whether the forwards keep pressure after the first defensive action.
One friendly result will not define the qualifying campaign. Its value lies in identifying a problem early enough to correct it before the three competitive matches in Denmark later in the year.
