England coach Sarina Wiegman says defender Jess Carter is ready to play in the Women's European Championship semifinals against Italy after being targeted with racist abuse online.

France captain Griedge Mbock is set to return for Saturday's Women's European Championship quarterfinal against Germany in Basel.

Germany's group stage at the Women's Euro may not have gone to plan but the eight-time winners have put all the setbacks behind them as they get ready to face France in the quarter-finals, coach Christian Wueck said on Friday.

The Germans played down a player for 105 minutes plus stoppage time, and somehow outlasted a frustrated France in penalties.
