England boss Sarina Wiegman has shed some light on her decision to omit Tottenham striker Beth England from her latest Lionesses squad.
England has been in scintillating form since leaving Chelsea for Brisbane Road in January, notching five goals in just six WSL appearances for Spurs. The 28-year-old cited a desire for more game time ahead of this summer's World Cup as one of the reasons behind her move, having earned her most recent international call-up last summer when she was an unused substitute for the entirety of the EUROs.
However, despite her impressive domestic form, Wiegman hasn't included England in her squad for the Lionesses' upcoming internationals with Brazil and Australia. And, in a press conference on Tuesday, the Dutchwoman cited fierce competition for places as the reason for England's omission.
