"England have been drawn in a qualifying group alongside 2023 winners Spain - who beat the Lionesses in the final - as well as Ukraine and Iceland. Wiegman will name her squad for the first time in 2026 on Tuesday at 11:00 - who might feature and what are the key decisions for the Dutchwoman? England have not had a competitive fixture since winning Euro 2025 as they beat China 8-0 and Ghana 2-0 in friendly matches at the end of last year."
"The matches gave Wiegman an opportunity to test new players and formations - handing a debut to 30-year-old goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse in the process. Among those to receive their first senior call-ups to the squad were defenders Anouk Denton, Taylor Hinds and forward Freya Godfrey. There was also time for England stars Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze and Lauren James to recover from lengthy injuries."
England begin 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying in March, traveling to Ukraine on 3 March and hosting Iceland on 7 March, within a group that includes Spain. Sarina Wiegman will name her squad on Tuesday at 11:00, with eight international camps before qualifying concludes. England last played competitively in Euro 2025 and have since had friendlies beating China 8-0 and Ghana 2-0, and a defeat by Brazil followed by a win over Australia. The friendlies allowed Wiegman to trial new players, debut goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse and call up Anouk Denton, Taylor Hinds and Freya Godfrey. Chelsea captain Millie Bright retired in October and Arsenal forward Michelle Agyemang suffered an ACL injury.
