England will name their squad for Euro 2025 today as Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman tries to put 10 days of carnage behind her and return focus to next month’s title defence in Switzerland.
That Women’s Euros success in 2022 suddenly feels like a long time ago and the recent rollercoaster ride began last week with former No 1 Mary Earps announcing her sudden, and shock, retirement after being informed she would have been a back-up goalkeeper for the tournament.
England then impressively beat Portugal 6-0 on Friday night before former stalwart Fran Kirby announced she was retiring from international duty on Tuesday and the Lionesses subsequently crashed out of the Women’s Nations League with a 2-1 defeat to Spain that evening.
The following day, vice-captain and talismanic centre-back Millie Bright withdrew herself from selection for the Euros, citing physical and mental burnout, to give Wiegman another headache just 24 hours before the Dutch coach confirms her 23-person squad at St George’s Park this afternoon.

Mood is good in England camp
15:41 , Mike Jones"You see part of it - you're not in our environment all the time,” Sarian Wiegman told gathered journalists.
“I can assure you the training sessions last week have been really good. What you could see in Portugal, that was a very energetic game, a good game.
“I didn't see anything that there were no connections within the team.
"Having had lots of football conversations in camp, seeing what has happened off pitch and on pitch with the team, I'm really happy where we are right now."
Wiegman on disruption in the build-up to a squad announcement:
15:33 , Mike Jones"Well, my experience before major tournaments is there's always noise. So we expect noise until we go into the tournament.
"The difference is, in 2017 [as Netherlands coach], and when I went as assistant coach in 2015, is the attention.
“The women's game has increased so much, there sounds like there's more noise but there are just more journalists here that write and show what we are doing - so that's a lot more.
"We just have to deal with it and move on and focus on the football."
Is England's squad experienced enough for the Euros?
15:23 , Mike Jones"Yes.” replied Wiegman.
“When I came in, there were many, many players who were experienced - but I do think we have enough experience in this team.
“There are about 16 players who have played in major tournaments. Also, playing such a high level at club, playing in front of big crowds. So I don't think it's a problem.
"The experience is enough, the balance is enough and with players coming in and playing their first tournament, they're so eager, too. So that balance and those dynamics are pretty good in our team."
Agyemang can be England's wildcard
15:18 , Mike JonesCan Michelle Agyemang be a 'wildcard' off the bench this summer?
"I think so. We'll see what she can bring,” said Sarina Wiegman.
“Of course, I have seen in training sessions, what she did in Belgium - she brings something different. And I hope she can show that in the summer."
Wiegman on 23 players for the women's squads compared to the men's 26-player squads
15:15 , Mike Jones"You want to have that equality but I'm also happy with the 23 players.
“I think the rule now is when a goalkeeper gets injured, you have the opportunity to bring in another goalkeeper during the Euros.
“I would hope that rule will change also if a player has to go out, there are opportunities to bring in another player. For me that would be a very good solution.
"But I don't have to go with 26 players. You can only start with 11, and you're not going to play a full tournament with 11 players, you need the whole squad. But 26 is a lot."
Wiegman on how she selects players
15:01 , Mike Jones"I'm good. It's part of the job, well, the main part of the job to make decisions, who to select, who to play and things like that,” said the Lionesses boss.
“Those hard conversations are not nice because I know what players do, and how hard they try to make the squad.
"Also, great behaviours from players, supportive to the team, so that's very hard to give them this very disappointing message.
“But at the same time, I also had very nice messages to give, so that gives me some more energy too.
“Now that's done, I can move forward and I'm really excited about the team and that the Euros are so close."
Is England's midfield short?
14:57 , Mike Jones"We have to announce it as forwards, defenders, midfielders but I think we can move things around with some players in different positions,” said Sarina Wiegman.
“So on this paper, it looks like we're not so in-depth but in the team, we are enough in-depth in midfield."
Lionesses boss explains Lauren James decision
14:48 , Mike JonesThe biggest decision Sarina Wiegman made was to select Lauren James who has been out with a hamstring injury since April.
She said: "It's not a risk. She's training really well at her club and she's at the point we hoped she would be at this stage.
“She keeps progressing and hopefully, when she comes into camp, she can go into training with us and keep progressing towards the first game on the 5 July.
“We don't see it as a risk, we're just building her."
Wiegman on Earps and Kirby retiring
14:43 , Mike Jones"They've done so much for us, so much England, for England football,” said the England boss.
“They've been playing the tournaments since I've been here, so it's hard; hard to replace.
“But there are also other players who have done really well and now those players get the opportunity to step up. So you have to move on."
Wiegman on selecting the 23 player squad
14:39 , Mike JonesThe England boss said: "You always want to pick a little bit more because players in their enviroment have done well.
“But in the end you have to make those decisions, which for 23 players is good, and for some players is disappointing.
"We've seen the team a lot over the last week, and the last months, so it's done now."
Agyemang brings physicality
14:39 , Mike JonesWiegman was also asked about Michelle Agyemang's inclusion and what she brings to the squad.
She said: "She brings something different.
“We're really strong up front and so many different qualities.
We all remember her goal against Belgium. She brings a certain physicality but it’s great to have her qualities in the team.”
Sarina Wiegman press conference
14:36 , Mike JonesSarina Wiegman is immediately asked about Millie Bright’s withdrawal.
She said: “I found out in the last couple of days. It’s sad, it’s disappointing.
“It’s not nice when ou don’t feel well physically and mentally, but I just hope she feels better soon.”

Wiegman on squad announcement
14:20 , Mike Jones“I know this is an exciting day, for the players and also for our fans and it underlines that the tournament is coming soon,” Sarina Wiegman said as part of the Euro 2025 squad announcement.
She added: “Telling the players they have made the squad is always a great moment. They will all give everything to help us make the country proud.
“This group is a very well-balanced mix of players with multiple tournaments on their CVs and also those that will make their tournament debuts.
“I am excited to see what we are capable of this summer.”
England confirm Lionesses squad for Euro 2025 as Lauren James decision made
14:16 , Richard JollySarina Wiegman has picked Lauren James in the England squad who will try and defend their European Championship title in Switzerland this summer.
James, who has not played since April because of a hamstring injury, has been in a race against time to be fit but made the 23-player group.
Lotte Wubben-Moy was the beneficiary of Millie Bright’s decision to withdraw as the defender who captained England in the 2023 World Cup final announced she needed a break to look after her mental and physical health.

Lauren James given the nod
14:09 , Mike JonesLauren James has been named in Sarina Wiegman's England Euro 2025 squad despite a hamstring injury hampering the end of her season.
The 23-year-old has not played since she suffered a the injury during England's 5-0 Nations League win over Belgium at Ashton Gate in April.
However, she is a gamechanger and was the star performer during the Lionesses World Cup final run in 2023.
Sarina Wiegman to speak to the media
14:06 , Mike JonesNow that the England squad is known for Euro 2025, Sarina Wiegman will address the media at 2.30pm.
We’ll have all the updates from her press conference in this live blog.
Michelle Agyemang included in Euro 2025 squad
14:03 , Mike JonesIt’s a big call from Sarina Wiegman who selects Brighton & Hove Albion forward Michelle Agyemang for Euro 2025.
The striker scored three goals and made one assist in 17 WSL matches this season.
She has played for England at senior, under-23, under-19 and under-17 levels.
The 19-year-old will fight Alessia Russo and Aggie Beever-Jones for a starting berth at the Euros.

England squad announcement
13:56 , Mike JonesIt’s almost time for England’s squad announcement.
The retirements of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have somewhat overshadowed the build-up to Euro 2025 and we know Millie Bright won’t be in the squad either after the defender withdrew to focus on her mental and physical health.
Will there be any major surprises in Sarina Wiegman picks?
Is Lauren James in or out?
13:52 , Mike JonesThe biggest decision facing Sarina Wiegman will be whether to include Lauren James or not.
The Chelsea star isn’t fully fit but could still be an assest if she’s injury free, even at 90% effectiveness.
Will Wiegman roll the dice and hope James will be ready in time for the group stages?
Euro 2025 dates
13:46 , Mike JonesThe Women's European Championship kicks off in Switzerland on 2 July with the final to be played at St Jakob-Park in Basel on 27 July.
Defending champions England will begin their campaign on the third day of the tournament when they face France.
Here’s the tournament’s schedule:
Group stage matchday one: 2-5 July
Group stage matchday two: 6-9 July
Group stage matchday three: 10-13 July
Quarter-finals: 16-19 July
Semi-finals: 22-23 July
Final: 27 July
The real problem Earps and Kirby’s sudden retirements give England
13:40 , Adam MillingtonIt isn’t exactly the ideal way to prepare for a major tournament. One shock retirement, defeat against the world champions, then another retirement. England’s journey is encountering some turbulence.
A fly on the wall in the England dressing room in Barcelona would first see a squad frustrated by their defeat in Spain, but the environment would soon be overshadowed when Fran Kirby announced that she will no longer be playing international football.
Kirby is a stalwart. She has overcome significant adversity in her career. She has bags of experience. But she wasn’t going to be selected for the squad for this summer’s Euros and that led her to call time on her international career.
The real problem Earps and Kirby’s sudden retirements give the Lionesses
Predicting England’s Euro 2025 squad - Forwards
13:31 , Luke BakerThe strongest area of the team, which gives Wiegman some breathing space when it comes to the biggest injury question ahead of the squad announcement. Wiegman has previously said that there could be room in the 23 for someone who is not 100 per cent fit, offering them the chance to build their fitness before the tournament. That place should be given to Lauren James, even as she continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
The Arsenal trio will all go, with Alessia Russo coming off her finest season yet at club level, Chloe Kelly hitting form on loan at the Gunners and Beth Mead getting closer to her best after playing a key part in their Champions League triumph. Flexibility as a forward is a huge plus given the competition for places, so Lauren Hemp, who looked sharp against Portugal on her first England appearance of the year, is an invaluable option.
Alongside her, young player of the year Aggie Beever-Jones scored a 33-minute hat-trick at Wembley to secure her place, and showed she can be a back-up to Russo at No 9 as well as a wide forward for Wiegman.
It would be unfortunate for Nikita Parris to drop out at this stage after making three successive squads since the turn of the year, but it’s very possible, while striker Michelle Agyemang is better off spending her summer leading the line for England at the Under-19’s Euros.
Forwards (6): Aggie Beever-Jones, Lauren Hemp, Chloe Kelly, Lauren James, Beth Mead, Alessia Russo
Predicting England’s Euro 2025 squad - Midfielders
13:20 , Luke BakerMidfield has been the biggest area of change for the Lionesses over the last 12 months with the emergence of Grace Clinton, 22, and Jess Park, 23, as genuine options to start for England at the Euros. At the same time, England could also start the Euros with the same midfield trio that began the World Cup final in Keira Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone.
Wiegman has options, at least, and Stanway’s return from a knee injury is still a huge boost. Her absence gave Clinton the chance to show she can play alongside Walsh in midfield, as well as further in front, while Park has worked as a No 10 and out wide on the right.
The sudden retirement of Fran Kirby means an inexperienced player is likely to go in her place. According to Kirby, Wiegman had already decided that she was not going to the Euros, which is a surprise: even if her days of starting for England were behind her, Kirby could still have influenced games from the bench.
Instead, one of Laura Blindkilde Brown or Missy Bo Kearns could make the final squad. Bo Kearns, the captain of England’s Under-23s, could have timing on her side after making her England debut off the bench in the defeat to Spain.
Midfielders (6): Missy Bo Kearns, Grace Clinton, Jess Park, Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Keira Walsh
Predicting England’s Euro 2025 squad - Defenders
13:10 , Luke BakerIf everyone was fit and available, England’s back four at the Euros would likely have been Lucy Bronze, Millie Bright, Leah Williamson and either Jess Carter or Niamh Charles. But England received another hammer blow just 24 hours before the squad was named, with Bright pulling out of selection.
They had hoped the 31-year-old would be ready for the Euros after taking time away from camp to look after her mental health and let her body recharge after the club season, but she confirmed in a social media post that she would miss the tournament. Alex Greenwood is a high-quality replacement at centre-back, however, having filled in for Williamson when she was ruled out of the last World Cup.
In a squad of 23, Wiegman is likely to take eight defenders to the Euros with at least two options for each position, and has said “connections” and fitness are factors when naming her back four for the tournament. Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier will be Bronze’s back-up at right back, even though her preferred position is at centre-back. Carter and Charles are the options at left-back and who plays there may depend on England’s opponents and their style of play.
After Bright’s withdrawal, Wiegman requires two more centre-back options in addition to Williamson and Greenwood, so will likely choose both Esme Morgan and Lotte Wubben-Moy. Previously it appeared Wiegman would have to pick between the two but that is no longer the case.
Defenders (8): Lucy Bronze, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, Alex Greenwood, Maya Le Tissier, Esme Morgan, Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy
Predicting England’s Euro 2025 squad - Goalkeepers
13:00 , Luke BakerHannah Hampton had positioned herself ahead of Mary Earps in the pecking order even before Earps announced her shock retirement from international football. Earps’s decision confirms that Hampton, 24, will be England’s No 1 at the Euros after a successful season for treble winners Chelsea, but means that two uncapped goalkeepers will join her in Switzerland.
Anna Moorhouse, 30, received her first call-up a year ago and plays for Orlando Pride in the United States. Khiara Keating is 20, but has been around the squad for longer after her breakthrough for Manchester City, but like Moorhouse is yet to play a minute for the Lionesses.
Although Ellie Roebuck’s last game for England was three years ago, she may have been an option after recovering from a stroke and moving to Barcelona, but Wiegman has Moorhouse and Keating ahead of her.
Goalkeepers (3): Hannah Hampton, Anna Moorhouse, Khiara Keating
Lionesses assistant Arjan Veurink set to leave for Netherlands after Women’s Euro 2025
12:43 , Luke BakerThe FA has confirmed that England assistant coach Arjan Veurink will be departing following the Women's Euro 2025.
The 38-year-old linked up with the Lionesses alongside compatriot Sarina Wiegman when she took the head coach role in 2021.
Under their guidance, the Lionesses won the 2022 Euros and the following year they reached the World Cup final.
Veurink is now set to take over from Andries Jonker in the role of Netherlands women's head coach, signing a deal until the 2029 Euros.
Lionesses unveil Euro 2025 kits with hint to iconic 1982 England design
12:30 , Luke BakerEngland have unveiled the kits the Lionesses will be wearing at Euro 2025 this summer.
England won the Euros on home soil three years ago and the new Nike designs are said to honour that victory as well as the pioneers of the past.
The home kit takes inspiration from the 1980s, reflecting the England shirt worn at the 1982 men’s World Cup, with a blue and red print across the chest. England will also play in blue shorts.
Aggie Beever-Jones takes chance to lead breakout night for England’s next generation
12:12 , Luke BakerIn better news for England, they may have found a new star during the 6-0 win over Portugal on Friday night, with Aggie Beever-Jones scoring a hat-trick.
The Women’s PFA Young Player of the Year seized her opportunity, with the type of display that comes from the sheer hunger of wanting to really make your case for going to a major tournament. It’s what Sarina Wiegman wanted to see.
Beever-Jones followed the instructions. “As cliche as it sounds, Sarina said, 'It's a new kit, new England today. Go out there and put a graft in’,” Beever-Jones revealed. “I think her words were 'destroy them'.”

Millie Bright explains withdrawal from Euro 2025 selection after latest England blow
11:57 , Luke BakerBut there was one more twist to come for England ahead of the squad announcement.
Millie Bright wasn’t in the squad for the Nations League matches due to mental and physical fatigue but then announced that she was also withdrawing from selection for this summer’s Euros due to burnout.
The Lionesses vice-captain and starting centre-back announced her decision on social media, saying: “This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. My pride and ego tells me to go, but I think the team and the fans deserve more. Right now I am not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically.
"As much as I want to be out there running through back walls for England and fighting alongside my team-mates, stepping back is the right timing for my health, my future in the game, and most importantly the team.”

The real problem Earps and Kirby’s sudden retirements give England
11:40 , Luke BakerIt isn’t exactly the ideal way to prepare for a major tournament. One shock retirement, defeat against the world champions, then another retirement. England’s journey is encountering some turbulence.
A fly on the wall in the England dressing room in Barcelona would first see a squad frustrated by their defeat in Spain, but the environment would soon be overshadowed when Fran Kirby announced that she will no longer be playing international football.
Kirby is a stalwart. She has overcome significant adversity in her career. She has bags of experience. But she wasn’t going to be selected for the squad for this summer’s Euros and that led her to call time on her international career.
Alone, Kirby’s retirement marks the end of a wonderful Lionesses career for the 31-year-old. Her decision is not entirely surprising either, given her injury and illness troubles in recent years and her place in the squad now being firmly outside the starting line-up.
However, when coupled with Mary Earps’ decision to retire last week given the fact she would not be England’s starting goalkeeper, and defender Millie Bright now withdrawing from selection, having initially taken time off because of mental and physical burnout, there is a sense that the squad is crumbling so close to the Euros.

Fran Kirby announces international retirement ahead of Euro 2025
11:22 , Luke BakerAfter the Earps stunner, there was another international retirement just around the corner, with Fran Kirby stepping away from Lionesses duty on Tuesday.
Kirby’s retirement began with immediate effect and she was left out of the England squad that suffered a 2-1 defeat to Spain in their final Nations League match on Tuesday evening. She was also informed that she would not be part of England’s Euro 2025 squad.
The midfielder won 77 caps and scored 19 goals with England having represented her country at four major tournaments famously winning Euro 2022. As well as success at the last European Championship, she was part of the bronze-medal winning squad at the 2015 Women’s World Cup.

Mary Earps’ shock retirement is the start of a much-needed new era for the Lionesses
11:08 , Luke Baker“A new era and a new England team,” wrote Mary Earps. That phrase, perhaps as well as anything else, sums up her retirement from international football.
The new era begun in their latest round of Nations League fixtures against Portugal and Spain, but what matters is the European Championships – and Earps won’t be there.
Hannah Hampton, instead, is now England’s number one. Not one of the stars of England’s triumph just three years ago, but Sarina Wiegman’s new favourite.
Earps fell out of favour and now she’s forever out of the frame. The 32-year-old was an inspirational trailblazer, but her time is up.

Sarina Wiegman left ‘sad’ and ‘disappointed’ after Earps’ shock retirement
10:55 , Luke BakerEngland coach Sarina Wiegman admitted she was left “disappointed” and “sad” by Mary Earps’ decision to retire before Euro 2025.
“I just want to keep it that I'm disappointed and I'm sad,” said the England boss. “I want her in the team and I just want to express the same things that I already have and I want to keep it that way.
"She has done such a great job for England. She has made a massive difference and we have had an incredible journey so far and I really cherish that.
"There have been a couple of conversations which I don't want to share here because they are between us. It's hard and it's hard for her at the same time.”
Mary Earps announces surprise retirement from international football ahead of Euros title defence
10:41 , Luke BakerIt’s been quite a 10 days for England ahead of this squad announcement...
It all began with Mary Earps’s sudden retirement last Tuesday as the 53-capper, who was twice named the Best Fifa Women’s goalkeeper, hung up her gloves after being informed that she would be a back-up to new No 1 Hannah Hampton this summer.
“I have taken the difficult decision to retire internationally,” said Earps “It has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life, to wear this badge, represent my country and play alongside such an incredible group of players.
“I’ve spent a long time making this decision and it’s not one I’ve made lightly. For me, ultimately this is the right time for me to step aside and give the younger generation an opportunity to thrive.”

Sarina Wiegman ‘pretty close’ to knowing Euro 2025 squad as Lionesses selection looms
10:29 , Luke BakerAhead of Tuesday’s loss to Spain, England boss Sarina Wiegman revealed she is "pretty close" to knowing her squad for the upcoming European Championship.
The Lionesses are defending their title as the competition begins in Switzerland on July 2.
Speaking about how close she is to knowing her Euros squad, Wiegman told a press conference: "We're pretty close. Still of course you want to make the final decisions, but we're pretty close."
One player not involved in the current England camp is Lauren James, who has been absent since April with a hamstring injury, but Wiegman is optimistic the forward will be available and can "make a difference" in the Euros.
The England boss said: "We already said we're trying to get her fit, she's trying to get fit with all the support from Chelsea and all the support from us.
"She's doing really well and moving forward. She needs to tick some boxes and when she does we can progress.”

Outplayed and outclassed, England are left searching for answers ahead of their Euros defence
10:21 , Luke BakerYou can only ride your luck for so long. If you are up against the best, if you are firmly on the back foot, then eventually you are going to get punished.
That was the case for England against Spain. They faced constant aggression, were often penned back in their own half, struggled to go forwards, and, after Claudia Pina came off the bench and turned the tide for the hosts, departed Barcelona with a 2-1 defeat and having missed out on a chance to top their Nations League group.
Before Pina's double, England had benefitted from a handful of refereeing decisions, a well-taken Alessia Russo opener and the hosts' lack of final-third ruthlessness, but their performance was not one deserving of a victory. They tried to cling on, but doing so was an impossible test.

Predicting England’s Euro 2025 squad after three huge shocks
10:19 , Luke BakerEngland manager Sarina Wiegman names her squad for Euro 2025 today 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.
Those withdrawals have thrown a spanner into the works but Jamie Braidwood has had a crack at predicting England’s 23 for the tournament:
