England Women's squad for Euro 2025: The player-by-player guide

Telegraph23-06-2025
England's 23-player squad for this year's European Championship includes 13 of those who lifted the trophy in 2022, although notable absentees include Mary Earps and Fran Kirby (retired) as well as Millie Bright (withdrawn).
Here is Telegraph Sport 's guide to the players Sarina Wiegman has selected to defend England's European title in Switzerland this July.
Goalkeepers
Hannah Hampton
Age 24 (November 16, 2000)
Club Chelsea
Caps 15
Clean sheets 7
England's No 1 goalkeeper after winning the battle with Earps. Hampton was an unused player at the 2022 Euros and 2023 World Cup but is set to be first-choice at her third tournament. She is fluent in Spanish, which may come in handy if England play the reigning world champions.
Khiara Keating
Age 20 (June 27, 2004)
Club Manchester City
Caps 0
Clean sheets 0
The Manchester City youngster is set to be No 2 to Hampton this summer after forcing her way back into the squad earlier this year. Keating, who is uncapped for the Lionesses, won the Women's Super League golden glove in the 2022-23 season and has a bright future.
Anna Moorhouse
Age 30 (March 30, 1995)
Club Orlando Pride
Caps 0
Clean sheets 0
Her career has taken her from Everton to Doncaster and Bordeaux, to name a few, but the 30-year-old now plays her football with American side Orlando Pride. Like Keating, Moorhouse has yet to win a senior cap, but has plenty of experience and in 2024 broke the NWSL record for the most clean sheets in a single season (11).
Defenders
Lucy Bronze
Age 33 (October 28, 1991)
Club Chelsea
Caps 133
Goals 18
The Lionesses' most experienced player. This will be the right-back's seventh international tournament and she shows no signs of slowing down. Bronze remains a key member of the team and, with no other recognised right-back in the squad, she is pivotal to England's hopes of retaining their title.
Jess Carter
Age 27 (October 27, 1997)
Club Gotham FC
Caps 44
Goals 2
The versatile defender can play anywhere across the back four but has primarily been used at left-back by Sarina Wiegman. She looks set to challenge her former Chelsea team-mate Niamh Charles for that position but will also provide cover at centre-back.
Niamh Charles
Age 26 (June 21, 1999)
Club Chelsea
Caps 23
Goals 0
Charles was one of the players cut from Wiegman's provisional squad for Euro 2022 but was included for the 2023 World Cup, though she played a bit-part role. The Chelsea left-back has a real chance of being a starter this time around but faces competition from Carter.
Alex Greenwood
Age 31 (September 7, 1993)
Club Manchester City
Caps 98
Goals 7
One of the standout performers of the Lionesses' run to the 2023 World Cup final. Greenwood's place in the team has not always been secure following that tournament but she now looks to be the preferred centre-back partner for captain Leah Williamson. She has a wand of a left foot and is one of the best passers in this team.
Maya Le Tissier
Age 23 (April 18, 2002)
Club Manchester United
Caps 8
Goals 0
Before you ask, no, she is not related to Matt. This will be Le Tissier's first major tournament after narrowly missing out on selection for the 2023 World Cup. She enjoyed another fine season with Manchester United after taking over the captaincy last summer.
Esme Morgan
Age 24 (October 18, 2000)
Club Washington Spirit
Caps 13
Goals 0
A popular member of the squad, Morgan will provide cover at centre-back and full-back. The defender, who plays her football in the United States, took the bold decision to trust some of her team-mates to cut her hair during England's last camp – it seemed to turn out OK.
Leah Williamson
Age 28 (March 29, 1997)
Club Arsenal
Caps 57
Goals 5
England's captain missed the 2023 World Cup because of an anterior cruciate ligament injury and has made no secret of her desperation to play in this tournament. She ended the season in impressive form and should be confident following her starring role in Arsenal's Champions League win. Her leadership will be key if the Lionesses are to have a successful tournament.
Lotte Wubben-Moy
Age 26 (January 11,1999)
Club Arsenal
Caps 13
Goals 1
A reliable and dependable figure for Wiegman and has earned her place in the squad after battling through several injuries this season. Bright's withdrawal paved the way for Wubben-Moy to reclaim her place and she will undoubtedly be a positive presence in the England camp.
Midfielders
Grace Clinton
Age 22 (March 31, 2003)
Club Manchester United
Caps 10
Goals 3
One of the recent breakout stars of this England team and a player with an eye for goal. Clinton is still getting to grips with international football but has already shown glimpses of what she can do. She will likely be battling with her Manchester United team-mate Ella Toone for the No 10 position.
Jess Park
Age 23 (October 21, 2001)
Club Manchester City
Caps 19
Goals 3
Injury ruled the midfielder out of selection for the 2023 World Cup but her form for Manchester City has ensured regular England call-ups since. Park is skilful and agile and will provide competition for both the deeper and attacking midfield positions.
Georgia Stanway
Age 26 (January 3, 1999)
Club Bayern Munich
Caps 77
Goals 21
A mainstay in the England team until a knee injury in January threatened her chances of making the tournament. The midfielder worked incredibly hard to return to fitness and is likely to start alongside Keira Walsh. Away from the football pitch, Stanway spends her time tattooing – and has even inked some of her Bayern Munich team-mates.
Ella Toone
Age 25 (September 2, 1999)
Club Manchester United
Caps 58
Goals 19
Toone has had many memorable moments in an England shirt, including goals in the Euros final and World Cup semi-final. The Manchester United star is one of the big personalities in the Lionesses' dressing room and fancies her chances of following in Jill Scott's footsteps by taking part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in the future.
Keira Walsh
Age 28 (April 8, 1997)
Club Chelsea
Caps 86
Goals 1
England's midfield lynchpin. A lot of the work Walsh does can go unnoticed but she is key to the way the Lionesses play. Walsh, who joined Chelsea from Barcelona in January, scored her first international goal as recently as April and was subsequently told by Wiegman to take more shots.
Forwards
Michelle Agyemang
Age 19 (February 3, 2006)
Club Arsenal
Caps 1
Goals 1
Wiegman's wildcard selection. Agyemang, who spent last season on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion, had a debut to remember when she scored a stunning volley just 41 seconds into her first international game. The striker is quick and powerful and could be a surprise package if she gets a chance to come off the bench.
Aggie Beever-Jones
Age 21 (July 27, 2003)
Club Chelsea
Caps 7
Goals 4
The Chelsea forward is expected to be tasked with being the 'super sub' of this tournament, a role which was previously fulfilled by Alessia Russo at Euro 2022. Beever-Jones, who can play on the wing or in the No 9 position, will be one of the first players Wiegman will look to if England need a goal from the bench.
Lauren Hemp
Age 24 (August 7, 2000)
Club Manchester City
Caps 63
Goals 18
Hemp missed five months of the season through injury but is now fit and firing again. The winger is arguably the quickest member of the team and is guaranteed to take one of the front three forward positions. Hemp spends a lot of her free time building Lego and will no doubt be taking some with her to Switzerland.
Lauren James
Age 23 (September 29, 2001)
Club Chelsea
Caps 27
Goals 7
England have been sweating on the fitness of James for the past few months but Wiegman was always going to take a gamble on the Chelsea forward, who is now back in team training. She has the ability to do what other players cannot and is a potential match-winner.
Chloe Kelly
Age 27 (January 15, 1998)
Club Arsenal (on loan from Manchester City)
Caps 52
Goals 8
The Euro 2022 hero had an up-and-down season and had to fight her way back into the England squad after a lack of game time at Manchester City meant she was dropped by Wiegman. After a loan move to Arsenal, she has returned to form and happiness, and she is now pushing for a starting place, though Wiegman tends to use her as an impact substitute.
Beth Mead
Age 30 (May 9, 1995)
Club Arsenal
Caps 67
Goals 35
The leading goalscorer in the current group of players, Mead will be hoping to repeat her heroics from the last Euros, when she won the golden boot and player-of-the-tournament awards. The Arsenal forward was another player who missed the 2023 World Cup through injury so will be even more motivated this summer.
Alessia Russo
Age 26 (February 8, 1999)
Club Arsenal
Caps 50
Goals 22

Harry Brook century before dramatic dismissal takes England in sight of win

Facing a towering target of 374, the Yorkshire pair came together under pressure on 106 for three and produced a staggeringly dominant partnership that carried them to 317 for four at tea. A demoralised India were on the verge of throwing in the towel when Brook swung so hard looking for a third successive boundary off Akash Deep that he sent his bat spiralling in the air as a simple catch looped to mid-off. Akash Deep breaks the partnership at last! What a knock from Harry Brook, 111 from 98 deliveries 👏 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) August 3, 2025 He departed for 111 but Root was looking imperious as he reached the break on 98 not out alongside Jacob Bethell. Another 57 runs will seal a 3-1 home win and ensure the newly-minted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy heads to Lord's. Mohammed Siraj botched a chance to change the course of the match when Brook skied a catch to fine-leg with just 19 to his name but, although he held the chance, the seamer stepped on the boundary then carried the ball over for six. England fans celebrated deliriously as a stunned Siraj realised what he had done, while Brook never looked back. He completed his 10th Test hundred in just 91 balls, his first in a fourth-innings pursuit, and hit the lion's share in a stand of 195. Should the hosts get over the line it will complete a hat-trick of stunning pursuits against India in the past three years, following their record 378 for three at Edgbaston in 2022 and 373 for five at Headingley in the first match of this series. They would also set a massive new record chase at Surrey's home, smashing the previous best of 263 set in 1902. Siraj had snatched the momentum with the last act on Saturday evening, bowling Zak Crawley with a clinical yorker, India made a promising start by removing Ben Duckett (54) and Ollie Pope (27) in the morning session. Duckett converted his overnight 34 into a fourth half-century of the series but played and missed repeatedly as he struggled against Siraj, finally nicking Prasidh Krishna to second slip. Krishna, gamely filling the considerable boots of the rested Jasprit Bumrah, came desperately close to pinning Root lbw for just three but saw his huge appeal rejected. Ball-tracking showed it was clipping leg stump, but it would not have been enough to overturn the decision. After an hour's play England had scraped together 37 runs, briefly accelerating as Pope hit three fours in an over off Krishna including one classy on-drive. But that was the end of a cameo rather than the start of something more substantial, Siraj charging in and nailing him in front of the stumps. At 106 for three, India had taken control but the arrival of Brook brought a screeching gear shift. He went for all-out aggression, at one stage lashing 27 runs in eight balls. That included a crunch through midwicket and a lavish six over cover off Deep before his near miss at fine-leg, risking his wicket but picking up six more for his efforts. Siraj looked mortified, with the English fans revelling in his anguish. Krishna, meanwhile, had to quietly shelve the celebrations he had already started to perform. The wheels fell off India's wagon in the afternoon, as a combination of defensive fields, passive captaincy and tired bodies left them short of answers. Brook and Root ruthlessly milked the situation, scoring a steady stream of ones and twos and waiting for the chance to hit fours. A ragged full toss from Ravindra Jadeja and a woeful misfield from Deep, who kicked the ball over the ropes after declining to use his hands, suggested the game was up as the required runs dropped to double figures. Brook looked to speed up after reaching a well-deserved hundred, lashing Deep for back-to-back fours before departing as his bat flew out of his hands. Bethell was lucky to escape a caught-and-bowled on one, Deep slipping as he turned, but Root finished the session in full control as he moved within two of his century.

Chris Woakes ‘all in' and will bat with dislocated shoulder if needed

For the fifth Test in a row, the game is going all the way to the final day after a nerve-wracking fourth evening left all results possible. Brilliant centuries from Root (105) and Harry Brook (111) had England cruising towards a remarkable chase, set fair on 301 for three hunting 374, but they lost three late wickets to leave things in the balance. Bad light and rain halted a thrilling conclusion in its tracks, with England needing 35 runs and India seeking four more wickets. One of those belongs to Woakes, who has not featured since badly damaging his left shoulder while fielding on Friday. He was ruled out of the game the next morning but has remained with the team and is willing to bat at number 11 with his arm in a sling if required. 'You probably saw him in his whites in the dressing room. He's all in, like the rest of us,' said Root. 'Clearly, he's in a huge amount of pain. But it means a huge amount to him and it just shows the character and the person that he is, that he's willing to put his body on the line like that for England. Look who's in his whites in the dressing room 👀 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 3, 2025 'If it does come to that, hopefully he can get us across the line and win an incredible series.' Root was not surprised to see a dramatic end unfold after almost seven weeks of full-blooded battle but, having done a huge amount of the heavy lifting alongside Brook, still fancies England to triumph. 'It was always going to happen like this wasn't it? Just look at the first four games,' he said. 'It's been amazing to play in and quite fitting that we're going to get that kind of finish. It's been one hell of a series, one hell of a journey, and there's clearly confidence in our dressing room. I'd like to think we've got what we need to get across the line.' Harry Brook, left, and Root made centuries (Ben Whitley/PA) Root had earlier marked his 39th Test hundred, and third this summer, with a touching tribute to the late Graham Thorpe. The former Test batter, who took his own life last year, enjoyed a close relationship with Root during his time as England's assistant coach. When he reached three figures, Root produced one of the Thorpe-inspired white headbands Surrey have been selling to raise funds for the MIND mental health charity and wore it as he looked to the skies. 'That was on behalf of our team. It was just a thank you for everything that he's given the game of cricket, and given English cricket, on and off the field,' he said. 'It's been amazing to recognise everything that he's done as a player, as a coach, as a mentor, as a friend to the dressing room and to the game. Joe Root salutes Graham Thorpe after reaching his century (Ben Whitley/PA) 'It was really great to see the amount of love that there is for him and for his family.' India's quicks had found wonderful rhythm before the weather intervened and would probably have liked to try and finish the job while the mood was with them. A night's break and an extra use of the heavy roller could play into England's hands but a saturated outfield meant the tourists were not complaining about the umpires' decision. 'We can see it's pretty wet out there,' said bowling coach Morne Morkel. 'In a way that's out of our control so all we can focus on is doing a good warm-up in the morning, get the boys ready to get the ball in the right area and create a little bit of excitement again.'

Bruno Fernandes and Iliman Ndiaye come to blows in fiery clash as Everton hold Man United to 2-2 draw in Atlanta

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye were involved in a fiery confrontation during their sides' 2-2 draw in Atlanta. The flashpoint occurred just before Everton's second equaliser. Fernandes slid in from behind on Ndiaye near the halfway line, prompting an angry reaction from the Everton man, who believed the challenge was reckless. The pair squared up in a heated exchange as play continued, and moments later, United conceded a bizarre own goal, with Amad Diallo kicking the ball into his own net. Despite the drama, United were crowned champions of the Premier League Summer Series thanks to their earlier wins over West Ham and Bournemouth. Fernandes had put United ahead in the 19th minute, calmly converting a penalty after James Tarkowski brought down Diallo in the box. Everton responded five minutes before half-time. Idrissa Gueye picked out Ndiaye with a pinpoint cross to the back post, and the Senegal international made no mistake with a composed finish. United regained the lead in the 69th minute through Mason Mount, who turned smartly inside the area before drilling a shot past Jordan Pickford. But the lead didn't last long. After the altercation between Fernandes and Ndiaye, Everton levelled again through Diallo's own goal, capping off a scrappy but intense encounter - one that gave Ruben Amorim's squad a true test ahead of the new Premier League season. Manchester United return to action on Saturday when they host Serie A side Fiorentina at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim's side will then kick off their Premier League campaign the following Sunday against Arsenal at home.
