MILLIE BRIGHT’S long-awaited return will give England just the boost they need ahead of their upcoming Euro 2025 qualifiers, according to boss Sarina Wiegman today.
The Chelsea centre-back captained the Lionesses to their first World Cup final last summer, but a knee injury-plagued season saw her only recently return to league action, while she has not featured in an England squad since October.
The 30-year-old is one of 28 players named in Wiegman’s latest squad, which also includes a first senior call-up for Bright’s club-mate Aggie Beever-Jones, that will remain unchanged across two international windows, beginning with France’s visit to St James’ Park on May 31.
