That momentum has carried on into this summer's Women's European Championship as, alongside Blues team-mate Nathalie Bjorn, the winger has helped her national team to three straight wins in the group stages. Sweden present a tough challenge for England in the quarter-final on Thursday, having only conceded one goal so far in the tournament.

The Lionesses will be all too aware of the threat Rytting Kaneryd poses, as many of them have played either alongside her or against her in the Women’s Super League over the last three seasons.

Chelsea’s number 17 has won back-to-back Player of the Match awards for her performances against Poland and Germany in the group stages and has been a constant threat down the right-wing.

In Sweden’s opening win against Denmark, Rytting Kaneryd’s direct play was immediately apparent. Putting a dangerous cross into the box after four minutes, she started as she meant to go on.

Constantly taking players on down the flank, the winger completed four of five dribbles during the 1-0 win, whilst also posing a threat in one-on-one situations with eight successful dribbles from 12 attempts.

If that performance was impressive, her showing in the 3-0 win over Poland was even better. Rytting Kaneryd provided an assist for team-mate Kosovare Asllani, and the heat map below shows how she successfully penetrated the penalty area.

The Blues star created seven chances for her team-mates and had 19 touches in the opposition box during that victory, contributing more than any other Sweden player in both metrics.

‘The first ten minutes felt like they were a bit shaky,’ said Rytting Kaneryd after the win over Poland. ‘They had a few opportunities that could have hurt us more. We got a wake-up call and really found a way into the game.

‘We were able to go more direct and be dangerous. We know that we are a team that, when we play direct with runs behind their back line, we’re really good. That’s how we scored our first goal, and that’s how we created most of our chances today.’

The final group game against Germany was always going to be a tough test for Sweden, but they passed with flying colours, coming from a goal behind to win 4-1.

Rytting Kaneryd was on hand with another assist in that victory and created seven chances in total, more than any other Swedish player at the Euros since records began in 2013.

That's exactly why England will need to bring their A-game on Thursday night if they are to stop Rytting Kaneryd and Sweden.
