Kirby made her first international appearance in over a year as the Lionesses beat Belgium in the Nations League.
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 over Belgium on Friday.
“Everyone who has come in has brought a fresh face and a new standard. It has been nice to be in training around them and getting to know them more personally. 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.
England need to finish top to advance in the tournament, which also serves as a qualifier for next summer’s Olympics in Paris.
