Lauren James wasn&#8217;t available either in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But we&#8217;re strong enough still to be able to get these games &#8211; when you make 18 chances but only put two away and still concede three, that&#8217;s the issue, isn&#8217;t it?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12697621\/Alex-Greenwood-return-England-today-assessed-Man-City-received-treatment-10-minutes-following-sickening-clash-heads-Lionesses-3-2-defeat-Belgium.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Greenwood to return to England today to be assessed by Man City, after she received treatment for more than 10 minutes following sickening clash of heads during Lionesses&#8217;
