England defender Lucy Bronze has been shortlisted for the Golden Ball - the award given to the best player at the Women's World Cup.

Bronze scored a stunning goal as England beat Norway in the last 16 and also netted in the quarter-final victory over hosts Canada.

The Lionesses were knocked out by a 2-1 semi-final defeat by Japan.

The winners, selected by Fifa's technical study group, will be announced after Sunday's final.
