Injured trio set to make Lionesses return

England Women have been handed a triple injury boost with Lauren Hemp, Georgia Stanway and Alex Greenwood all making their return to the squad.

With Women's Euro 2025 on the horizon the news will be welcomed by manager Sarina Wiegman who has been without several key players in games of late.

The trio will now be available for selection for England's Nations League games against Portugal and Spain.

England will host Portugal at Wembley on 30th May before making the journey to Spain on 3rd June.

Wiegman said: "These are another two important games for us in a big year. Naturally we are preparing for the summer ahead.

"We saw in February that both Portugal and Spain will provide a big challenge and that excites us. These are the levels we need to compete against to make sure we are the best possible version of ourselves on 5th July when our Euros begins."

One notable absence is Chelsea forward Lauren James.

She has been left out of the squad as she continues to recover from a hamstring injury that ruled her out of the end of the WSL campaign.

England's title defence begins on the 5th July with an opening game clash with France.
