England: Leah Williamson returns to Lionesses squad for Euro 2025 qualifiers

Breaking news

Leah Williamson is in the England squad for Euro 2025 qualifiers against Sweden and the Republic of Ireland and could earn a first cap since last April.

She was called up by England for friendlies against Austria and Italy in February but withdrew through injury.

Defender Millie Turner is also included after replacing Williamson in February.

England face Sweden at Wembley on Friday, 5 April and the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on Tuesday, 9 April.

As well as Sweden and the Republic, England will face France in their League A qualifying group, with the top two automatically progressing and the other two sides entering the play-offs.

Qualifiers take place from April to July, with the tournament scheduled for July 2025 in Switzerland.

There is no place in the squad for injured Chelsea centre-back Millie Bright, who captained England at the Women’s World Cup last year in Williamson’s absence.

Manchester United’s Turner is included instead of team-mate Maya Le Tissier, while midfielder Grace Clinton, on loan from United at Tottenham, keeps her place having scored on her debut against Austria last month.
