So far in her career Lisa Evans has reached two major
championships with Scotland and now she’s aiming for a third.
Playing her football at Arsenal and
competing at Euro 2017 and the 2019
Women’s World Cup has provided
great experiences, but now the winger
has set her sights on lighting up the
tournament in England in 2022.
Recovering from an injury, Evans had
yet to play for Scotland in 2020 going
into this international window and
she’s aiming to make up for lost time
by helping her side go into the final two
games next year in a promising position.
Q
A
How does it feel to be back
in the squad?
It’s great to be back involved. It
was so frustrating being out for
the last few matches of the campaign,
and watching them from home. I’ve
not played for Scotland at all this
year, through injury, and that’s been
disappointing. I’ve not played many
games in general but I’m feeling fit and
healthy now. The week has gone well so
far and Shelley not being in camp hasn’t
provided much disruption as she is still
leading from afar and chatting to us
regularly over Zoom.
Q
A
What have you made of the
campaign so far?
We had a great start but the
pandemic has obviously disrupted
things. Tonight’s game is going to be
huge, and will be pivotal in terms of our
qualification hopes. Despite the defeat
last time out, Finland are a team we’re
more than capable of coming out on top
against if we play to our potential. They
