Greenwood, Stanway, Hemp Return to England Women’s Squad for Nations League

England women's football coach Sarina Wiegman has named a 27-player squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Portugal and Spain, marking a significant boost ahead of the 2025 European Championship. Key players Lauren Hemp, Alex Greenwood, and Georgia Stanway have returned to the squad after lengthy knee injuries, although Stanway has yet to play competitively since her surgery. The squad also features new call-ups like Tottenham's Ella Morris and recalls such as Aston Villa's Missy Bo Kearns, while Arsenal's Michelle Agyemang remains after impressing with a goal on her senior debut. Chelsea forward Lauren James remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury, missing out on preparations for the Euro defense. Wiegman emphasized the importance of these Nations League fixtures as both a challenge and preparation for the Euros, with wins against Portugal and Spain crucial for England's progression. The European Championship campaign begins on July 5 against France, with the squad announcement expected later in June.
