Fran Kirby shook off suggestions she might feel intimidated by the new faces in England's camp after she returned from injury in the win over Belgium
Fran Kirby shook off suggestions she might feel intimidated by the new faces in England's camp after she returned from her long absence in the 1-0 victory overBelgium on Friday. The Chelsea midfielder had not played for England since the Lionesses faced the Czech Republic in a friendly last October and missed this year's World Cup after undergoing knee surgery. She received a warm reception from the sold-out crowd in Leicester in the 65th minute of the Nations League clash.
The 2019-20 season saw Kirby diagnosed with pericarditis, a heart condition, and in 2022 she was sidelined with a fatigue-related illness that led to her installing an oxygen tent at her home. As for this most recent problem, Kirby said: 'At the beginning, it was quite tough because you don't really know when the end of the injury is. I accepted quite early on that I wasn't going to be part of the World Cup squad, not that it made it any easier.
