Aggie Beever-Jones has received her first senior England call up and Millie Bright returns to the squad following a five-month injury absence for the Lionesses’ upcoming Euro 2025 qualifiers.
Sarina Wiegman has named a 24-player group for the fixtures against France, Republic of Ireland and Sweden plus four standby players. Manchester United defender Maya Le Tissier, Liverpool midfielder Missy Bo Kearns, Tottenham Hotspur forward Jess Naz and Southampton goalkeeper Kayla Rendell are the players on the standby list.
Beever-Jones, 20, has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign at Chelsea following last season’s loan spell at Everton, scoring 11 goals in 15 Women’s Super League appearances.
Bright, who captained England at last summer’s World Cup in Leah Williamson’s absence, withdrew from the Lionesses squad in November with a knee injury before returning to action with Chelsea in April.
Wiegman has named a near-identical squad to the one selected for April’s fixtures, with Beever-Jones replacing Rachel Daly following her retirement from international football, and Bright an extra addition.
