As England prepare for their World Cup quarter final, Jordan Nobbs says she hopes to learn from her captain Steph Houghton.
The 22-year-old Arsenal midfielder and Lionesses vice-captain has featured just once so far in Canada, playing the full game in the 2-1 group win over Colombia.
Nobbs watched from the sidelines as Houghton's header got Mark Sampson's team back into their last-16 match against Norway on Monday.

And now, with the hosts between them and a place in the semi-final, Nobbs is delighted to see her back in the team after missing the build-up to the World Cup with a knee injury.
"We need Steph in the team and thank God she's back," said Nobbs, who has 22 caps for England.

"I've known Steph for a long time and she's always shown as a player, on and off the pitch, that she's very calm and relaxed."
The Stockton-on-Tees born schemer added: "She makes decisions and she just looks like a leader as well, everything about her.
"She's professional and hopefully I can learn a lot from her."
