Arsenal exhibition match in Melbourne ‘not good’ for players, says Wiegman

ENGLAND boss Sarina Wiegman said today she is “surprised” at Arsenal’s plan to play an exhibition match in Melbourne on May 24 – a trip she feels is “not good” for players.

The Gunners last week announced their women’s team will head out to Australia to face an “A League Allstars” side in the end-of-season fixture.

England are set to play Euro 2025 qualifiers against France at St James’ Park on May 31 and then away on June 3.
