Lotte Wubben-Moy’s journey to the World Cup after England’s historic European Championship win last year has not been straightforward. The Arsenal centre-back was omitted from the squad for the friendlies against the USA and Czech Republic in October, with Sarina Wiegman citing playing time at club level as the issue for a number of players left out, but Wubben-Moy was then called up as a replacement for the injured Leah Williamson.
She then made the squad for the November fixtures and the Arnold Clark Cup in February but was dropped for the Finalissima against Brazil in April, only to find herself summoned again after an injury to Millie Bright.
