Wiegman Names 25-Player England Squad as Toone and Beever-Jones Return for June Qualifiers

England can clinch 2027 World Cup qualification with a win in Spain next month.

Overview

  • Sarina Wiegman named a 25-player squad Tuesday that recalls Ella Toone, Aggie Beever-Jones and Freya Godfrey for Spain on June 5 and Ukraine on June 9.
  • A win in Palma would seal top spot and an automatic place at the 2027 World Cup, while a draw would leave England needing to beat Ukraine.
  • Toone returns after a hip injury kept her out since November, and Wiegman said she looks good but may not be ready for 90 minutes.
  • Lucy Bronze is included despite recent foot issues and a protective boot, and coaches will assess her minutes during camp.
  • England lead Group A3 with four wins from four, and Erica Meg Parkinson misses out after an April call-up as competition for places tightens.
