Keep Calvert-Lewin as 'squad player' on a 'reduced wage'
We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League asked whether Everton should keep Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the expiry of his contract this you have got to say this next season is going to be huge for Dominic Calvert-Lewin have seen his talents but the goalscoring record that got him in and around the England squad is becoming longer and longer needs to find a stretch where he is healthy, fit and available because you want to be able to rely on a striker and Everton have not been able to rely on Calvert-Lewin for a long time have a potential England international in the squad is brilliant - but only if they are available. The club will need to have a serious look at what they can do to first keep him healthy, but then secondly to keep him sharp. This comes from competition in the is worth keeping for now because is there cover if Everton decide to let him go? Do they have someone who can fill those boots straight away?Beto has done well in parts and been trusted in the back half of the season. I do not think Calvert-Lewin himself, or anyone at Everton, really expects him to be a guaranteed starter going forward. Unfortunately for him, he just has not played enough football in the past few the club can find a way to offer him a new deal - on a reduced wage and perhaps appearance-based clauses - then I would keep him as a squad new contract would need to reflect his lack of football. He is just not going to get any deal on the same terms as when he was pushing to play for England, and if the player does not accept that or wants a fresh start then he should for Calvert-Lewin, he can work his way back to being a regular starter and regular goalscorer Onuoha was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

England squad announcement live: Lionesses team for Women's Euros to be named after Millie Bright withdraws
England will name their squad for Euro 2025 today as Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman tries to put 10 days of carnage behind her and return focus to next month's title defence in Switzerland. That Women's Euros success in 2022 suddenly feels like a long time ago and the recent rollercoaster ride began last week with former No 1 Mary Earps announcing her sudden, and shock, retirement after being informed she would have been a back-up goalkeeper for the tournament. England then impressively beat Portugal 6-0 on Friday night before former stalwart Fran Kirby announced she was retiring from international duty on Tuesday and the Lionesses subsequently crashed out of the Women's Nations League with a 2-1 defeat to Spain that evening. The following day, vice-captain and talismanic centre-back Millie Bright withdrew herself from selection for the Euros, citing physical and mental burnout, to give Wiegman another headache just 24 hours before the Dutch coach confirms her 23-person squad at St George's Park this afternoon. England squad announcement ahead of Euro 2025 - live updates England will name their squad for this summer's Women's Euros at 2pm this afternoon Sarina Wiegman will confirm her 23-person Lionesses group before facing the media at St George's Park England have been stunned by three players pulling out of contention over the past 10 days Goalkeeper Mary Earps and midfielder Fran Kirby both suddenly retired from Lionesses duty before defender Millie Bright withdrew herself from selection as she battles burnout Question marks surround the fitness of winger Lauren James as Wiegman ponders her squad Outplayed and outclassed, England are left searching for answers ahead of their Euros defence You can only ride your luck for so long. If you are up against the best, if you are firmly on the back foot, then eventually you are going to get punished. That was the case for England against Spain. They faced constant aggression, were often penned back in their own half, struggled to go forwards, and, after Claudia Pina came off the bench and turned the tide for the hosts, departed Barcelona with a 2-1 defeat and having missed out on a chance to top their Nations League group. Before Pina's double, England had benefitted from a handful of refereeing decisions, a well-taken Alessia Russo opener and the hosts' lack of final-third ruthlessness, but their performance was not one deserving of a victory. They tried to cling on, but doing so was an impossible test.

On Tuesday night, former Euros winner Fran Kirby announced her international retirement after being informed that she would be missing out on England's 23-player squad for the tournament. The midfielder is the second star player to retire before the Euros, with goalkeeper Mary Earps stunningly deciding to hang up her gloves after losing her starting spot. Add to that, key defender Millie Bright has withdrawn from selection due to mental and physical burnout. Those withdrawals have thrown a spanner into the works but Jamie Braidwood has had a crack at predicting England's 23 for the tournament: Predicting England's Euro 2025 squad after three huge shocks Sarina Wiegman is preparing to name her 23-player squad as the Lionesses embark on their bid for back-to-back Euros Luke Baker5 June 2025 10:19 When is the squad announcement?
