Rhian Brewster’s double earned an impressive 2-0 win in Italy on Thursday and Carsley wants to see his side keep their momentum going.

“There is always a worry in the back of your mind they are friendlies and how the attitude is towards a friendly,” he said.

“This group seem different to average footballers, you can do a pre-season friendly and go through the motions. This group are very determined and focused.

“I want to see a good performance, energy, enthusiasm, togetherness. I want to see a strong performance. We’ve had a really good camp so far and I’m excited to see this team play.

“Germany are third in the rankings, another team who are – on paper – better than us and have done better in the past. It’s a good test for us.”
