US EditionEngland Selects Froward Lauren James for Women’s Euros Despite Injury Concern
- England named Chelsea forward Lauren James in their 23-player squad on June 5, 2025, for the Women's Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
- James suffered a hamstring injury in April during a Nations League match against Belgium and has not yet returned to play, raising fitness concerns.
- Despite her injury, coach Sarina Wiegman confirmed that James is making good progress with her club and has included her in the squad, even as the team manages the absence of Millie Bright and adjusts following the recent international departures of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby.
- Wiegman said, "We don't see it as a risk, we're just building her," expressing hope James will train with the team before England's opener versus France on July 5.
- James' inclusion suggests England aims to defend their Euro crown with a partly unproven squad, balancing experience and new talent amid injury and retirements.
