Notably, striker Bethany England has made a triumphant return to the squad, while defender Millie Bright has been included despite a recent injury setback.

We know we will face tough challenges from strong teams, and we will have to be competitive from the first match on 22 July.”
To ensure the team’s success, Wiegman emphasized the significance of the players’ rest and recovery over the next few weeks. By drawing on the positive lessons learned from the Euro last summer, the management is determined to have the players fit, fresh, and ready for the tournament. Their goal is to hit the ground running and make a powerful statement from the outset.
