Jordan Nobbs is keen to remind England fans she's a footballer, after a stint as a pundit on TV.

The Arsenal midfielder is set to earn another cap for England as they play Brazil in  front of a sell-out crowd in Middlesbrough tomorrow.

Nobbs is set to make her England return after 10 months out of action due to an ACL injury. 

She said: “After I was with the BBC, I’d be going into services and people were like, ‘Oh, you do punditry’ and I’m like, ‘no, I play football'.

“I did some media after Arsenal’s game the other day and I had the mic and I was like ‘no’. That’s obviously what I was [at the World Cup] but I’ve kind of flung the mic now.

"But I did really enjoy it and I can’t thank the BBC enough because they did get me through a difficult time.”​

The player got herself back on the Arsenal score sheet in their match against Brighton and is looking to add to her England tally of seven in 56 appearances this weekend.

It will also be an opportunity to impress England manager Phil Neville who is also leading Team GB at the Olympics.

Nobbs would love the opportunity to go to Tokyo: “It would be honestly incredible." She told The Telegraph.

"The last Olympics, I was in the longlist squad. It’s the biggest tournament, being part of Team GB is my goal.”

Nobbs' England career comes full circle on Saturday as the match is being played at the Riverside Stadium.

Nobbs said: “I first got picked for England at 12 years-old at Middlesbrough so it was kind of fate.”
