Wiegman names 23-player squad for England squad for Women's World Cup

Millie Bright and Bethany England have been included in the England Women squad for the 2023 Women's World Cup, while Beth Mead has not made the 23-player list.

Chelsea defender Bright has not featured since March after picking up a knee injury, but was expected to be included for the tournament, which begins on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand.

Tottenham striker England - who scored 12 goals in just 12 WSL games for Spurs following her record-breaking January move from Chelsea - has also been called-up by Wiegman.

There had been some hopes among England fans that Mead may have been included after her ACL injury in November, but she has not been named. Lionesses captain Leah Williamson and Fran Kirby also miss out with injury.
