Sarina Wiegman, the England women's football team's coach, has shared positive updates regarding key players ahead of the European Championship. Despite Lauren James's hamstring injury, Wiegman is optimistic about her rehabilitation progress. Meanwhile, Georgia Stanway has returned to play after a knee injury, and although she was substituted at half-time, Wiegman reassured that there are no setbacks. Additionally, Wiegman expressed admiration for Fran Kirby after her sudden retirement announcement, highlighting her successful career and contributions to women's football.
With LJ [James], she is of course on the pitch [training], she is still in the position that we expect her to be, so she's progressing in the rehab and that's going really well, so I'm positive about that.
On Stanway: No [she does not have an injury], she's in a very good place. But she hasn't played for such a long time... this was very smart [to substitute her] to take care of her.
First of all I love working with her [Kirby]. She has had an incredible career and it is still going on in the WSL. She's an amazing player and an incredible person too.
