Lauren James has been named in England's 23-player squad for Euro 2025 despite concerns over her hamstring injury. Coach Sarina Wiegman has decided to trust James' fitness. Alongside her, newcomer Michelle Agyemang has also been included, marking her potential debut. Wiegman announced the squad via a poem featuring various celebrities, signaling excitement for the upcoming tournament. Notable absences include Fran Kirby and Millie Bright, prioritizing mental health, as well as Missy Bo Kearns, who is on standby. The squad features a mix of experienced players and new talent, aiming for another successful campaign.
"I know this is an exciting day, for the players and also for our fans and it underlines that the tournament is coming soon," Wiegman said.
Following the retirements of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby... the big question mark was whether James would make the cut.
Wiegman has gambled on James' fitness and decided to include her, along with Agyemang and Lotte Wubben-Moy.
The squad was unveiled via a poem, with several well-known figures reading out the names, including: David Beckham, Ian Wright, and Harry Kane.
