Sarina Wiegman to turn to 'Plan B' for first ever women's Finalissima with ever-present defender Millie Bright out injured... as Lionesses boss insists 'opportunity' knocks for the rest of her squad against Brazil

England boss Sarina Wiegman says she will utilise her 'Plan B' against Brazil on Thursday night with the ever-present Millie Bright unavailable through injury.

The Lionesses take on the Copa America champions at a sold-out Wembley in the first edition of the women's Finalissima but will be without their vice-captain, who was forced to withdraw with a knee problem.

The Chelsea centre back, who played every game at the European Championship last summer, has been a key player for Wiegman and has developed a strong partnership with captain Leah Williamson.

But Wiegman insisted Bright's absence provides other players with an opportunity to impress.
