Sarina Wiegman said navigating preparations for England’s Euro 2025 qualifiers in June and July had been “very challenging”, with the competitive fixtures scheduled for the summer break between seasons.
The manager has named a 24-player squad, including Chelsea’s Millie Bright and Aggie Beever-Jones, for back-to-back games against France and then the July games against the Republic of Ireland and Sweden. She also put four players on standby, including Kayla Rendell, a Championship goalkeeper with Southampton.
