Team News: Toni Duggan returns for England Women

England striker Toni Duggan returns in place of Karen Carney for the Women's World Cup semi-final against Japan.

Toni Duggan has been named in England's starting lineup for their Women's World Cup semi-final against Japan in Edmonton, Canada.

The Manchester City striker sat out the quarter-final win over the host nation at the weekend, but replaces Karen Carney for this evening's match in the only change for Mark Sampson.

Karen Bardsley is able to start in goal, having gone off midway through the match against Canada with an allergic reaction which affected her eyesight.

Meanwhile, the defending champions have stuck with the same lineup that started their 1-0 win over Australia in the quarter-finals, leaving goalscorer Mana Iwabuchi on the bench.

Japan: Kaihori, Iwashimizu, Kumagai, Sameshima, Sakaguchi, Miyama, Kawasumi, Ohno, Utsugi, Ogimi, Ariyoshi

England: Bardsley, Rafferty, Williams, Houghton, Bassett, Scott, Moore, Bronze, Chapman, Duggan, Taylor
