Georgia Stanway could not have looked happier. She will be without her midfield partner and best friend Keira Walsh when England take on 中国 on Tuesday. She may be without her for the 残り／休憩（する） of this World Cup.

The extent of the 膝 傷害 Walsh 選ぶd up against Denmark is still unknown, but the certainty is that she will not play on Tuesday.

That means a 転換 of position for Stanway, who will play in the No 6 役割 that Walsh has vacated. She will need more 防御の discipline and the onus will be on her to be the link between defence and attack.

But Stanway, 24, is not 段階d. There was no sense of doom and gloom as she answered questions on Monday. She is ready to step up in Walsh’s absence and, in her own words, ‘give the beans’.

‘I woke up this morning feeling a lot more 円熟した!’ a relaxed Stanway joked on M onday.

Georgia Stanway is ready to take on more 防御の 責任／義務 when England 直面する 中国

The 傷害 苦しむd by Keira Walsh means there will be more 圧力 on Stanway to 成し遂げる

‘I’ve created a little bit of a leadership 役割 with the way that I’m playing. I feel a lot of 信用／信任 in my own game and I’ve been 一貫した off the 支援する of the Euros so I’m just trying to keep that 勢い.

‘I feel I’ve proven my leadership in the way that I play and lead by example. I’m not afraid to communicate 同様に so I’ll try and do the two 職業s.

‘When you go to a World Cup there’s 絶対 everything to play for. You want to give it the beans and turn up. You want to put on your best 業績／成果. ‘

Stanway 選ぶd up a yellow card in England’s first game and another on Tuesday night would 支配する her out of the last 16 game. While the midfielder does have a 評判 for bookings - with eight in 21 games for Bayern Munich last season. Stanway, though, played 65 minutes of the Euros final on a yellow card and knows she has to be careful in tonight’s game and any 可能性のある last 16 game.

‘Of course I’m conscious (of the 調書をとる／予約するing). I managed 45 minutes in the first game and 90 minutes in the second game so I’m sure I can manage a lot more minutes without 選ぶing up a yellow card.

‘The other day against Denmark. My 役割 was predominantly a 防御の one. I have to make sure I’m covering the 支援する four and I’m disciplined. I just need to stay on my feet and make sure there’s players in 前線 of me.’

Stanway has known Walsh since she was a 十代の少年少女 after coming through the 階級s at Blackburn before later playing together at Manchester City. The 防御の midfield 役割 is not 完全に new to Stanway but Walsh has 申し込む／申し出d some words of 知恵.

‘I think for me it’s just covering that discipline element into the game, knowing I don’t always have to be running to help with the attack,’ Stanway said of her positional change.

‘It’s just knowing I need to 保護する the 支援する four too. That position comes 自然に to me because I’ve played it a little bit at club. I’ve played と一緒に Keira [Walsh] who is the best teacher without knowing it. Going into (Tuesday) it’s about communicating in the middle of the pitch.

‘I speak to Keira 24/7. To be honest it’s about 10 minutes of football-関係のある stuff and the 残り／休憩（する） is just rubbish. I’m sure she will be giving me some tips and I’m sure the message will be to 成し遂げる in the game. She’s got 信用 in whoever is going to be on the pitch.’

England 経営者／支配人 Sarina Wiegman would not comment その上の on whether Walsh may return later in the tournament, 主張するing that her team is strong enough to 進歩 without her.

‘I think we have a strong enough team, I think every game we want to be at our best. We know she’s not 利用できる. We have a group of 23 so now we have a group of 22, we have our 解答s and we’ll show that tomorrow.

‘We’re here to move on. It’s part of sport and it’s not nice but you have to move on and adapt to the new 状況／情勢 and find a way - bring 11 players on the pitch who we think can 勝利，勝つ the game. That’s what we’re doing all the time.’

Should England get the point they need to 最高の，を越す their group they will 避ける a last 16 衝突／不一致 with Australia and instead 直面する Nigeria.?

It looked as if the Lionesses were on a 衝突／不一致 course with the Matildas but their 4-0 victory over Canada and Nigeria’s draw with the 共和国 of Ireland meant the co-hosts finished in first place.?

Australia’s 勝利，勝つ （機の）カム 儀礼 of a を締める from Hayley Raso and その上の goals from Mary Fowler and Steph Catley. Sam Kerr was fit enough to be 指名するd on the （法廷の）裁判 after 行方不明の the first two group games, but was not 危険d.
