England Nears Euro 2025 Squad Decision Ahead Spain Nations League

England manager Sarina Wiegman is close to finalizing her 23-player squad for Euro 2025, with the announcement expected shortly after the Lionesses' crucial Women's Nations League match against Spain. Despite setbacks including Mary Earps' retirement and Ella Morris' injury, Wiegman is confident in the squad's strength and is cautious about playing any injured players to avoid risking their Euro participation. England, the reigning European champions, must beat Spain to advance to the Nations League finals, while Spain can qualify with a draw or win. Wiegman is optimistic about Lauren James' recovery from a hamstring injury and believes she can make a significant impact at the Euros if fit. Defender Lucy Bronze emphasized the team's focus on the immediate challenge against Spain, highlighting the importance of performing well against one of the world's best teams. England previously defeated Spain 1-0 at home this season and are using that victory to build confidence ahead of both the Nations League and Euro 2025 tournaments.
