England midfielder Keira Walsh is scheduled to earn her 100th international cap in Tuesday's friendly against Spain. The 29-year-old made her debut against Kazakhstan in 2017 and has since become a central figure for the Lionesses, according to The Guardian. She played every minute of the successful Euro 2022 campaign and started the 2023 World Cup final.
Walsh currently plays her club football for Barcelona in Liga F, following a record-breaking transfer from Manchester City in 2022. England manager Sarina Wiegman described the midfielder as a player who connects the team and dictates the tempo of matches.
The fixture at Wembley Stadium serves as preparation for the 2025 European Championship. Spain, the current world champions, defeated England 1-0 in their last meeting during the World Cup final in Sydney. If Walsh features, she will join teammates including Lucy Bronze and Alex Greenwood in the century club, per Sky Sports. The match is expected to attract a significant crowd at the national stadium.
