The Chelsea forward Lauren James has a foot problem and will not be available for England’s back-to-back Euro 2025 qualifiers against France, Sarina Wiegman has confirmed.

“No, not everyone is available for selection,” said Wiegman. “Lauren James didn’t make it so will not be selected. Jess Naz will be eligible. She had foot problems at club and we hoped she could build up for tomorrow [but she could not].”
