Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood have returned to the England squad for the first time this year in a major boost to Sarina Wiegman ahead of this summer’s Euros, but Lauren James will miss the Women’s Nations League deciders against Portugal and Spain.
James suffered a hamstring injury during England’s 5-0 win over Belgium last month, with her club Chelsea only saying she was out for “a period of time”. That is now set to include the Wembley game against Portugal on 30 May and the trip to Spain on 3 June, with James facing a race to be fit for England’s final Euros squad next month.
