Potter’s the present, not just the future after impressive England debut

Lexi Potter made her England debut against Greece in the World Cup play-off second leg at the King Power; the 20-year-old Chelsea midfielder impressed and could be in line to start if the Lionesses reach the Brazil tournament next summer

Lexi Potter could not have done more to prove she should not only be in England’s World Cup squad next summer, she could also be in the starting XI.

It's a big shout for a player that's only just broken into the England team, but her 60-minute debut against Greece couldn't have gone much better.

"It was really special," the Chelsea midfielder told ITV Sport after the game. "I am very happy and proud. It was a bit of a rush before the game and I lost my phone! I was a bit nervous but once I got on the pitch, I really enjoyed it.

"It was almost a dream come true. As a young girl, it's what you dream of, playing for your country. To make my debut and to be able to start as well is very special."
