England v Spain: Sarina Wiegman must wait to see if she can attend Spain game

After testing positive for Covid, the England manager has to wait to see if she will be able to play against Spain.

She said she was ready to go after missing Friday's win.

While wearing a mask, she has been communicating with staff virtually and observing training from a distance.

I'm very hopeful, but we'll see," she said.

I'm fine. I'm ready to leave but not yet. We know if I can't be there, I'll be somewhere else.

The game between England and Spain will be played at the Amex Stadium.

During England's final group-stage win over Northern Ireland, assistant Arjan Veurink ran the show.

We had a line so I was always in contact.

We were connected all the time because I was watching the game from here. We will do that again tomorrow against Spain.

There is a lot of space in the hotel resort and I have been enjoying it. It is a lot better when you are doing it live.

Over the last few years, we've learned that we can be efficient in a variety of ways.

The squad has prepared for the possibility of Covid cases during the Euros.

On Tuesday morning, the goalkeeper and the defender tested positive for a banned substance.

We didn't know how things would turn out. We are very careful but it is not visible. "We're trying to stay in our bubble and do the right thing."

We have to be flexible and creative when there is a positive result. We are on this journey and we want to do everything to be successful so we had to take action.

Reporters and other media personnel are told to wear face coverings and test before entering the hotel grounds while friends and family are told to test before entering the hotel grounds.

She had a cough but it was not too bad.

The situation we have to deal with isn't the worst. We wondered what we would get. What could happen? One of them was this. We made sure everything was in place.

When I wasn't around, we practiced. I'm very close to it. I'm wearing a mask and doing my job.

You don't want this. Everyone knows what to do.

The staff made the process painless, and it was a bit strange thatWiegman had not been present.

"Although we do miss her, I think it's not been as big of a transition as people think," said Walsh.

The girls just get on with it. It's a big game and we have a job to do.

We have things to be focused on, even though we do miss Sarina. She has been in the meetings and has been watching training from a distance.
