England manager Sarina Wiegman has named her 24-man squad for their upcoming international friendlies against the USA and Switzerland.
Preparations for the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championships are underway and the lionesses will step things up with a clash against Emma Hayes’ US team at Wembley on Saturday 30 November. A few days later, on December 3, they will host Switzerland at Bramall Lane.
Manchester CityLeicester City’s Laura Blindkilde Brown and Ruby Mace have been called up for the first time as they make the step up from the Under-23s. Gabby George returns to the squad for the first time since November 2022, but Niamh Charles, Lauren Hemp, Lauren James, Lucy Parker and Ella Toone miss out through injury.
Wiegman said: “This is an important international window for us to continue working to be ready for the Euros next summer. Every minute of these two games and every moment spent together at St. George’s Park is for making sure we are where we need to be when the tournament starts on July 2nd.
“As we continue our preparations we want to test ourselves against the best and that is why we have carefully selected the USA and Switzerland. They are two opponents who will challenge us in different ways this window and that is exactly what we want.”
