England defender Esme Morgan has revealed she missed a phone call from manager Sarina Wiegman to tell her she had made the World Cup squad.
The Man City defender was one of the Lionesses' contingent anxiously waiting to see if she would be going to her first major tournament, in the weeks following the end of the club season. Morgan will provide Wiegman an option across the back four when the competition begins next month, with England's first game against Haiti on July 22.
But Morgan has now said she actually missed the first call from the England coaches, instead preparing for her end-of-season holiday.
