Phil Neville’s Lionesses will take on Denmark at the home of the Saddlers on Saturday, May 25.

The game is one of four warm-up fixtures England will contest ahead of this summer’s 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The ‘Road to France Series’ will also see the Lionesses visit Manchester City, Swindon Town and Brighton & Hove Albion before June’s finals.

Neville said: It’s great that we can visit four different parts of the country and I have no doubt the players will get fantastic support as ever.

“I also want to thank my colleagues at The FA and the clubs for making this exciting series of games possible.

“We have already played Australia and Sweden in our last two matches in 2018 and being up against three more fellow finalists and the last EURO runners-up is just what we need.

“We will certainly hit the ground running when we get to France.

“This is a huge year for my players and staff, and we are raring to go. Every single day spent working at St. George’s Park is with the World Cup in mind, and we are going to France with the aim of making the country proud.”

Tickets for the match are on sale now and priced at £7.50 for adults before March 10. They rise to £10 after that date. Concessions are £1.
