Sanderson answers your questions on Twitter

England Women’s tantalising Wembley clash with Germany was at the front of Lianne Sanderson’s mind as she answered fans’ questions on Twitter.

The striker commandeered the @england account on Wednesday and with fans keen to find out about her career in America and her taste in music, Sanderson, who is currently at an 11-day training camp at St. George's Park, sat down with FATV for an extended Q&A.

She said of next month’s match against Germany: "I can’t stop thinking about it. It all seems a bit surreal to be honest.

"Playing at Wembley is going to be unbelievable for not only me and the girls but all our family and friends.

"It’s going to be a memorable day for everybody involved."
