England manager Sarina Wiegman names her squad for Euro 2025 on Thursday but there have already been three huge shocks before the Lionesses attempt to win back-to-back European Championships in Switzerland this summer.
On Tuesday night, former Euros winner Fran Kirby announced her international retirement after being informed that she would be missing out on England’s 23-player squad for the tournament. The midfielder is the second star player to retire before the Euros, with goalkeeper Mary Earps stunningly deciding to hang up her gloves after losing her starting spot. Add to that, key defender Millie Bright has withdrawn from selection due to mental and physical burnout.
