Lauren James has been named in England Women’s squad for Euro 2025 as Sarina Wiegman announced her 23-player team for the upcoming tournament.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea winger has been sidelined since April with a hamstring injury, and was touch-and-go to make the team for this summer’s competition in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Wiegman had been positive on her rehabilitation when asked during the recent Nations League campaign, and that optimism has proven justified as James is included in her squad.<\/p>\n

The England boss said of James: “It’s not a risk. We have some time, we still have a month. She’s training really well at her club. She’s at the point we hope she would be at this stage.<\/p>\n

“She keeps progressing and hopefully when we go into camp, she can go into training with us and keep progressing into the first game on July 5.”<\/p>\n

There is also an inclusion for 19-year-old Arsenal forward Michelle Agyemang<\/strong>, who only made her international debut in April. She scored a sensational goal in a 3-2 defeat to Belgium in the Nations League and her work has been rewarded with a maiden international tournament.<\/p>\n

“I think she brings something different,” Wiegman said of the teenager, who impressed on loan at Brighton in the 202425 season.<\/p>\n

“We’re really strong up front, we have different qualities with the players we’ve picked. She brings so much physicality and we all remember her first goal for us against Belgium. That’s good to have in the team!”<\/p>\n

However, there is no place for Aston Villa midfielder Missy Bo Kearns<\/strong>, who made her own senior debut against Spain on Tuesday. Brighton’s Nikita Parris <\/strong>also drops out of the squad that featured in the Nations League.<\/p>\n

But Kearns is one of England’s standby players, alongside Sophie Baggaley<\/strong> (Brighton), Laura Blindkilde Brown<\/strong> (Man City) and fellow Villa teammate Lucy Parker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The squad will meet at St George’s Park to begin their Euros preparations on Monday June 16. The standby players will stay with the squad until they depart for Switzerland on Monday June 30, the day after the Lionesses friendly against Jamaica at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n

The three US-based players in the squad – Anna Moorhouse, Jess Carter and Esme Morgan<\/strong> – will join the team on Monday June 23 after the continuation of their domestic season.<\/p>\n

It had already been revealed before the tournament that three players would not be in the squad. Mary Earps<\/a> <\/strong>and Fran Kirby<\/strong><\/a> both announced their international retirements, while Millie Bright<\/a> <\/strong>withdrew from contention to focus on her health and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n
