Lauren Hemp, Georgia Stanway and Alex Greenwood return to England squad
Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood are back in the England squad for the final Nations League group stage matches against Portugal and Spain.
Tottenham defender Ella Morris earns a first senior call-up and joins the experienced trio, all returning from long-term injuries, but Chelsea forward Lauren James remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.
The upcoming encounters against Portugal and Spain will be the final chance for players to impress England boss Sarina Wiegman before she names the women who will defend the Lionesses' European title in Switzerland this July.
Here it is…🤩
The #Lionesses squad named for our #UWNL group stage finale! 👊

Wiegman said: 'These are another two important games for us in a big year. Naturally we are preparing for the summer ahead.
'We saw in February that both Portugal and Spain will provide a big challenge and that excites us. These are the levels we need to compete against to make sure we are the best possible version of ourselves on 5 July when our Euro begins.
'At the same time, it is important that we focus first on what is right in front of us and ending the Nations League campaign in the best possible way.
'We have the possibility of seeing 27 players in our environment and that's a real positive. It will give us more good information to make important decisions in the near future.
'Also naming the squad 12 days before the window begins gives all the players clarity as the season ends for some and carries on for others. The hard work continues from the moment we arrive at St George's Park on Monday 26 May.'
Brighton's Michelle Agyemang, on loan from Arsenal, retains her place in the Dutch boss' squad after scoring 41 seconds into her debut in England's 3-2 loss to Belgium in April.
There is a recall for Aston Villa's Missy Bo Kearns.
England sit second behind World Cup holders Spain in group A3 with two wins, a draw and a defeat.
They host Portugal at Wembley on May 30 before travelling to play Spain on June 3.

Can Liam Delap finally end the curse of Chelsea's number nine shirt?
The shirt had been unused for two full seasons, former manager Thomas Tuchel admitting 'nobody wants to touch it', after its last dozen occupants struggled to make a prolonged impact – including three club-record signings up front, but also a holding midfielder and a certain Dutch defender. Our new No.9. 😍 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 5, 2025 Here, the PA news agency looks at the 'Curse of Khalid Boulahrouz'. After arriving with a broken jaw sustained in a robbery at his Barcelona home and seeing his former Borussia Dortmund boss Tuchel sacked the day after his debut, the ex-Arsenal star failed to establish himself in west London. He was not even included in the squad for the Champions League knock-out stages, despite scoring two of his three Chelsea goals in the group stage. The Belgium striker returned from Inter Milan for £97.5m for a second spell at the club but within months, his frustrations became clear in an interview with Sky Sport Italia. Despite 15 goals in all competitions, it was no surprise when he was loaned back to Inter then Roma before joining Napoli. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was the last inarguably-successful Chelsea number nine but amid over £250m spent to fill the troublesome shirt in the 18 years since his departure, academy product Abraham produced perhaps the most successful spell with 30 goals in two seasons to earn a move to Roma under former Blues boss Jose Mourinho. The Argentinian's loan from Juventus yielded just five goals in 18 appearances. A then club-record buy for £60m, the Spaniard scored 15 goals in his debut season but fell out of favour, netting nine more as number 29 before joining Atletico Madrid. The Colombian scored once in 12 games in an injury-hit season. The then British-record £50m signing from Liverpool got the longest run at making the Blues' number nine shirt work for him, wearing it 172 times across three-and-a-half seasons. He scored 45 goals, including a memorable Champions League semi-final clincher against Barcelona, but several prolonged droughts saw him move on to AC Milan, on loan, and then Atletico Madrid. Fourteen scoreless substitute appearances were all Di Santo had to show for his time in west London. The former Reading midfielder managed only 24 appearances, scoring once. A largely-defensive player, he would have been a glaringly unlikely number nine, had it not been for his immediate predecessor… The versatile Netherlands defender was assigned one of the few available numbers after his £8.5m arrival from Hamburg. He lasted one season and 23 appearances in all competitions before a loan to Sevilla and a permanent exit to Stuttgart. The Argentina striker had already spent a season at Stamford Bridge wearing number 21 – scoring 12 goals – and a year on loan at AC Milan before Mourinho recalled him and gave him number nine. He added another 13 goals and a league title but soon left for Inter. Inheriting the shirt from Hasselbaink, Kezman scored just seven goals in his sole season.

No assurances over England number three
England selector Luke Wright stopped short of backing incumbent number three Ollie Pope after Jacob Bethell was included in the squad for the first Test against 21, returns after missing the defeat of Zimbabwe while at the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers that match, Test captain Ben Stokes appeared to suggest Bethell would make an immediate return to the XI when available. After vice-captain Pope made a sparkling century at Trent Bridge, Stokes clarified that he was referring to Bethell returning to the squad and claimed his earlier comments had been "twisted to suit an agenda".Although Pope is still expected to retain his place at Headingley, Wright said: "We'll get together when we get up to Leeds and announce that two days out from the Test."We'll consider everything: conditions, what has gone before. All of those considerations go into the melting pot."Left-hander Bethell made three half-centuries in New Zealand at the end of last year, batting at number three after Pope slid down the order to stand in as he opted to miss the Zimbabwe Test in order to play at the IPL, he further impressed in the first one-day international against West Indies last week with 82 at the prospect of Bethell playing in the first Test, Wright said he is "very close".Wright added: "It's a great option to have. What a talent we all see in him. It's a great issue to have, to have that depth in the squad." Bethell could pressure opener Zak Crawley or frontline spinner Shoaib Bashir for a place in the XI but realistically it is a choice between the Warwickshire man and England all-rounder Wright rejected the suggestion that the lack of clarity around Bethell's position could unsettle the established members of the squad."Everyone knows before you go into any game there are always places up for grabs," said Wright. "I don't think anyone takes it for granted in international cricket. That's the way it always should be."You want a strong squad. They are all big lads who know what it is all about. There will always be speculation about what that XI will be. I'm sure the players will be very aware of what's going on and how it's going to look before that first Test."Elsewhere, Jamie Overton returns to the Test squad for the first time in three years, but Matthew Potts misses explained that England wanted the option of Overton's extra pace, while Potts had fallen behind Sam Cook in the role of Chris Woakes' new-ball was also confirmed that Jofra Archer is planning to play for Sussex in their County Championship match at Durham, beginning on 22 has not played red-ball cricket for more than four years because of a string of would have played for England Lions against India A at Northampton on Friday had it not been for a thumb he will look to play for the Sussex second XI, then the first team at Chester-le-Street, with a view to being available for the second or third Test against India.
