England Women's Euro 2022 squad is confirmed | OneFootball

The final squad for England Women’s Euro 2022 campaign has been unveiled by Sarina Wiegman.

The Lionesses boss had initially named a a 28-player group which she has now been forced to narrow that down to 23.

Sandy MacIlver, Niamh Charles, Steph Houghton, Lucy Staniforth and Katie Zelem are the unfortunate five names who have been cut from the squad.

Former captain Houghton misses out after failing to prove her fitness, having not featured since January due to an Achilles issue, while Fran Kirby is in despite illness sidelining her for the past four months.

That means the final England Women squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers

Mary Earps (Manchester United), Hannah Hampton (Aston Villa), Ellie Roebuck (Manchester City)

Defenders

Millie Bright (Chelsea), Lucy Bronze (Manchester City), Jess Carter (Chelsea), Rachel Daly (Houston Dash), Alex Greenwood (Manchester City), Demi Stokes (Manchester City), Lotte Wubben-Moy (Arsenal)

Midfielders

Fran Kirby (Chelsea), Jill Scott (Manchester City), Lucy Staniforth (Manchester United), Georgia Stanway (Manchester City), Ella Toone (Manchester United), Keira Walsh (Manchester City), Leah Williamson (Arsenal)

Forwards

Bethany England (Chelsea), Lauren Hemp (Manchester City), Chloe Kelly (Manchester City), Beth Mead (Arsenal), Nikita Parris (Arsenal), Alessia Russo (Manchester United), Ellen White (Manchester City)

Players who are injured or ill can be replaced until the day before England’s first game so the five who have missed out are set to remain with the squad on stand-by.
