Captain Leah Williamson will make her first England appearance in a year in Tuesday's Euro 2025 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland, manager Sarina Wiegman confirmed."It will be emotional," said Williamson, who captained England to the Euro 2022 title.
"I think who I am on the pitch is exactly who I was off the pitch. I don't think I was a calming presence for anyone especially," said Williamson. Williamson was on the bench as England kickstarted their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign with a disappointing 1-1 draw with Sweden on Friday but Wiegman says she had "hard choices" to make in her selections for Tuesday's game in Dublin.
England face Sweden, France and the Republic of Ireland, ranked 25th in the world, in their qualifying group. The top two teams automatically secure a spot at next summer's tournament in Switzerland. The other two sides drop into the play-offs.
