England’s Women’s World Cup squad: Beth Mead out but Beth England in

theguardian.com

Sarina Wiegman has omitted Beth Mead from England’s squad for the Women’s World Cup but has included the striker Beth England, who has scored 12 times in 12 WSL appearances for Tottenham this season.

Wiegman named her 23-player squad on Wednesday and has picked the defender Millie Bright, who has not played for Chelsea since coming off injured on 22 March.

There is no place for Steph Houghton despite the absence of the captain Leah Williamson and, more surprisingly, Maya Le Tissier has been left out.

Le Tissier’s Manchester United teammate Nikita Parris has also not made the cut but their club-mate Katie Zelem is in. Representing England this summer!
