The Lionesses take on Switzerland in a friendly on Tuesday (03.12.24) and admits that she wants to push those representing their country for them to be ready for Euro 2025.

Wiegman said: "That’s what you need at moments. At the end before we go into the tournament, we want clarity and everyone knows their role, which we know in tournaments can change very quickly.

"But now you’re trying out things, now you want everyone to compete at the highest level, compete against opponents, but also compete with each other. That’s what you need to become better, and that’s uncomfortable, and also trying out new things.

"Of course we’re not going to get everything right, but we’re learning and it gives us information.

"We still have seven months to go, but yes, we want to get as much information as possible and develop our style of play and experience where we are at the moment."

The Lionesses have been hit by a number of injuries as they prepare for the final match of the year and Wiegman confirmed that there will be plenty of rotation when it comes to the team.

The Dutch coach said: "We'll rotate a lot. We will change. It's another moment. As we have said all the time, we play four friendlies in this period."

England played out a 0-0 draw against the United States at the weekend but Wiegman is prepared for a different challenge against the Swiss.

She said: "I do expect, first of all, that Switzerland will play in another shape and what we have seen from them, that they drop deeper, quicker a little bit, so we expect to have the ball more.

"From the USA game, we had about 20 minutes [in the second half] that we kept the ball.

"We want to get those minutes longer, not 20 minutes. The ideal world is 90 minutes, but with those big occasions, that's hard. At some moments, I think we defended really well, but can we win the ball at moments a little higher on the pitch? That's something that we would like to do, too."
