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

Aaron Rodgers mocks Joe Biden's mental decline when asked about his new Steelers teammates
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers jokingly compared himself to former President Joe Biden when talking about how his age has him feeling alienated from the rest of the league. Rodgers, the oldest active player in the NFL, recently watched from the sidelines as his new team beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-25. But the 41-year-old felt like there was no one he knew on the opposite team - and told reporters about his lack of connection with younger stars. 'One of the weird things is, I'm 21 years in the league, so I'm over there... "Who do I know on Jacksonville",' Rodgers remarked. 'I know Heath Farwell, a special teams coach I've played against him. I know [running backs coach] Chad Morton, he was with us [in Green Bay]. And I've met [quarterback] Trevor [Lawrence] a few times. 'I was kinda looking around, doing the Joe Biden like "alright well, I guess I don't know anybody here, I'm gonna just walk off",' Rodgers added, referring to a viral clip of the former President at an international conference looking 'lost' among foreign leaders. 'I found Cam [Heyward] and TJ [Watt] and walked next them.' Rodgers appeared to get injured in practice as well, getting stepped on at one point by a lineman on either side of the ball. ESPN's Brooke Pryor noted that Rodgers had a cut on the front of his right shin and that he took a break after the injury, but he later returned. While he's settled in now with the team, he hasn't settled on a new helmet to play in. For years, Rodgers had worn a Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD. But now, that helmet has been banned by the NFL for failing to meet new safety standards. He's been practicing in a similar model - the Schutt Air XP Pro VTD II - but isn't happy with it. 'I don't like it, no,' the quarterback said on Tuesday (via ESPN). 'I'm trying to change. We're in the process still. It looks like a damn spaceship out there. 'We got to change it. The face mask doesn't fit the helmet because that's an old face mask, obviously just like I'm old, but we're trying to find the right helmet right now.'

First Match of the Day lineup after Gary Lineker's exit is revealed with TWO legendary England strikers on the punditry panel - as new hosts all vow not to post about controversial issues
The first Match of the Day lineup since Gary Lineker's departure has been revealed, according to reports. Mark Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates will begin hosting duties on the BBC 's flagship football show this weekend as the new Premier League season kicks off with reigning champions Liverpool against Bournemouth on Friday. It marks a new direction for the programme after Lineker, who was the mainstay presenter for 26 years on Match of the Day, waved farewell after being axed by the BBC in May over a social media post he shared which ignited an antisemitism row. Only one of the three presenters will take part in Saturday's season curtain-raiser, given the trio have agreed to share hosting responsibilities throughout the campaign. According to the Telegraph, Chapman will host the show and be joined by pundits Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney. Cates, meanwhile, is scheduled to host the BBC's coverage of European football next week. Shearer was a regular fixture on Match of the Day during the latter stages of Lineker's 26-year stint and continues to work with his former England team-mate on various podcasts including The Rest is Football. Rooney is set to sit alongside Shearer on the maiden Match of the Day for the 2025-26 season, having signed a new deal with the Beeb as he awaits the next opportunity in his managerial career. The England legend has yet to return to management since being sacked by Plymouth in 2024, which came after disappointing spells at DC United and Birmingham City. Ahead of the first show, the new Match of the Day hosts replacing Lineker have promised not to post about controversial issues on social media. Prior to his Match of the Day departure, the 64-year-old presenter shared an Instagram story about Zionism featuring a rat - a symbol used by the Nazis to characterise Jews as vermin. Lineker, who apoligised, deleted the post and admitted his departure from Match of the Day was the 'responsible course of action' back in May, left without a payoff from his £1.4million-a-year salary. The antisemitism row is understood to have been the final straw for BBC bosses after Lineker made a habit of posting about a range of controversial issues, from the war in Gaza to the government's immigration policy. Chapman, Logan and Cates have vowed to steer clear of posting about controversial topics, keeping in line with the BBC's social media guidelines. Logan, Chapman and Cates have vowed to steer clear of posting about controversial topics Logan told Radio Times: 'I've been conducting myself on social media while working at the BBC for nearly two decades. 'The broadcaster is probably under the most scrutiny of any in the country because of the way it's funded and because it's accountable to the public. That's how it should be. We strive to have the highest standards. Hopefully, we'll just get on with our jobs.' Cates added: 'I don't think I've ever really weighed in that much on anything that isn't either about football or something quite silly. That's not how I've ever used social media. 'It helps that we're all really different from Gary, in that he goes in with a profile of his own as an England legend. It's a very different career path. An ex-player taking over would be a more direct comparison.'

Gary Neville makes underwhelming prediction for Man Utd's season after £200million transfer spree
GARY Neville believes Manchester United MUST buy a new goalkeeper to have ANY chance of a top six finish. Sky Sports pundit Neville won eight Prem crowns as Old Trafford's starting right-back under Sir Alex Ferguson. 4 But Neville, 50, is dismissive of United's prospects of coming close to the top of the tree this term. And he suggested that even earning Champions League football was out of the equation unless Ruben Amorim can land a new No 1. Neville said: 'For United, the top six would be healthy. 'We've gone past the point now where we say Manchester United have to win the league. That's unrealistic. 'My feeling is probably seventh, eighth is where I'm looking at it now. 'But without Europe, they could get into the top six if they have a good run, if they get a goalkeeper. But a lot of things have to go their way.' Neville, whose criticisms of United last term grew increasingly strident as the club plunged to its worst top flight finish in half a century, feels the summer spending at the front end has made a difference. United, being linked with PSG gloveman Gianluigi Donnarumma - who is determined to quit the European champions - have splashed out £200m to land Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and now Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. All three are set to start when United open their campaign against Arsenal on Sunday. Speaking at the Sky Sports season launch, Neville added: 'If you said to me after that Europa League Final defeat to Spurs that Manchester United would have a forward line of those three that they've signed, I'd take that, I'd have snapped your hand off. Gary Neville names four Man Utd stars who must leave this summer 'I didn't think they had £200 million to spend. 'So the fact they've signed those three players is good. 'I like the profile of those players, whether they settle in now is obviously the big question. 'Two of them are proven Premier League players, although they've got to step up a level. 'Mbeumo is quite solid, he's robust, he's played at Premier League level. 'He and Cunha know the Premier League, they've been to all the grounds, there's no shocks for them. 4 'And Sesko up front. He's young, he's got potential but can he get off to a good start? That's important for him.' He added: 'Can they embed themselves at United? Can they get the probably 35-40 goals which would be par for those three players? 'If they can get 40 goals - and United's goals total last season was terrible - they've got chance of getting into that top six. 'But they've got to settle those three players, and we can't take that for granted anymore at United, I don't think. 'United will be looking at Champions League, that'll be the ambition. 'Not playing in Europe has to help, because there's basically more training time, less pressure on the players, less injuries. 'It means that the best players can play more often in the league, and not have those demands of a Thursday night game. 'But we've got to start the season well - and there are some tough fixtures early on.'
