Arsenal forward rested for
World Cup qualifier against LatviaWiegman wants players to have ‘physical and mental’ breakNikita Parris has been sent home from the
England camp for “a few days off” as Sarina Wiegman attempts to manage the workload of her players. “There’s not a big problem – she is OK,” the England manager said, when asked why the
Arsenal forward had left the squad on the eve of the World Cup qualifier against Latvia.
“Nikita has had so much loading during the last two years, from Lyon to England, she has hardly had any rest. During the week we had chats with her and the medical staff and we decided it was good for her to have a few days off. Our squad is fit, everyone can play tomorrow, so it was an option to give her some days off.”
