Sarina Wiegman has confirmed her 23-strong England squad for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Switzerland next month.
Lauren James had been out since April with a hamstring injury but is recalled as England attempt to retain the trophy won in 2022.
While the squad includes 13 players who made history in lifting the trophy in 2022, seven players – Michelle Agyemang, Aggie Beever-Jones, Grace Clinton, Khiara Keating, Maya Le Tissier, Anna Moorhouse and Jess Park – will be appearing at their first major tournament.
Wiegman told englandfootball.com: “I know this is an exciting day, for the players and also for our fans and it underlines that the tournament is coming soon.
“Telling the players they have made the squad is always a great moment. They will all give everything to help us make the country proud. This group is a very well-balanced mix of players with multiple tournaments on their CVs and also those that will make their tournament debuts. I am excited to see what we are capable of this summer.
“At the same time, I do feel for those that have just missed out. I can only name 23 but there are more players who have been so important to us on our journey to Switzerland. We would not be here without them.
“As we look forward, we still have a month to go until we play the first game. After some important rest, we will all be working really hard to make sure we are ready to go on 5 July.”
