For Chelsea defenders Millie Bright and Jess Carter, it will be a familiar face looking to break their defensive resolve on Friday.
If England are to get past Denmark in their second World Cup game, then stopping star player Pernille Harder is key.
Remarkably, this is the 30-year-old’s first World Cup — with Denmark having failed to qualify since 2007. Part of the reason they missed out on the tournament in 2019 is the forfeiture of one of their qualifiers in protest at poor pay and working conditions.
Their actions eventually forced a collective bargaining agreement, which saw a £232,000 rise in investment, but there was the feeling of a missed opportunity given Denmark had reached the final of Euro 2017.
