Eniola Aluko Benched For Second Game In A Row At World Cup
Published: June 22, 2015
Three Lionesses Head Coach Mark Samspon has omitted Eniola Aluko in his starting XI for tonight’s Fifa Women’s World Cup clash against Norway in Ottawa.
For the second time in this tournament, the 28 - year - old will be on the substitute bench, having missed the final Group F fixture against Colombia.
Aluko might be prolific for club and country but the World Cup is another ball game, with the Chelsea striker yet to break her scoring duck after 8 matches dating back to September 11,2007 when she debuted at the tourney against Japan.
The veteran has notched 32 goals in 93 appearances for the England Ladies.
England XI : Bardsley, Rafferty, Williams, Houghton (C), Bassett, Carney, Moore, Bronze, Chapman, Duggan, Kirby
Norway XI : Hjelmseth, Skammelsrud Lund, Ims, Mjelde, Ronning (C), Gulbrandsen, Herlovsen, Wold, Mykjaland, Minde, Hegerberg
