playmaker

Dropping in at first-receiver and being an extra playmaker is a skill that Sing has continued to develop under Mitchell, with her running game also more evident.

Winning her 43rd cap, the Loughborough Lightning playmaker was dangerous in attack and produced a superb tackle when isolated against the pace of Wallaroos' wing Maya Stewart out wide.

Slot was also keen to evolve the team and their style of play - the driving factor in signing the German playmaker, beating Bayern Munich and Manchester City to a deal.

The search for playmakers on a defense replacing every full-time starter begins up front.

The Norway playmaker has not yet been ruled out of the game against the Premier League champions and there is optimism at Arsenal that neither the 26-year-old or Saka will be long-term casualties.
