Wiegman: I've not spoken to England squad over bonus row

0

Sarina Wiegman says she has not spoken to the England squad about their row with the FA over their World Cup bonus but believes the issue needs to be sorted.

Sky Sports News reported last week that the players remained unhappy no FA bonuses are being offered to them for the tournament.

The players are adamant they deserve direct payments from the FA, above and beyond what they will earn from FIFA, although the FA's position is that players are already receiving a 300 per cent pay rise compared to the last World Cup.

However, Wiegman believes it has not been a topic of discussion in camp and it will not be a distraction when England open their campaign on July 22 against Haiti in Brisbane.

"Players haven't spoken to me about it," she told Sky Sports News. "We've been focusing on football and that is what I have seen.

"They're focused on football in meetings. I don't see any problems. I know that it is something that needs to be solved and I hope for a quick solution.

"I am not involved in those discussions. I hope it's solved quickly before the tournament starts."
