Sarina Wiegman has confirmed Leah Williamson will start against the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday night in England’s second Euro 2025 qualifier.
Williamson, the Euro 2022-winning captain, said she would probably have to fight back the tears at the Aviva Stadium when she steps out with England for the first time in almost a year,having been sidelined with an anterior cruciate ligament injury since last April. She was on the bench at Wembley for Friday’s 1-1 draw with Sweden.
