Euro 2022: Ranking England players from "starting XI" to "watching from home"

The Women’s Super League may be over, but Euro 2022 is now just weeks away.

Sixteen teams will contest the month-long tournament in July, and managers will be close to deciding which players will feature in their respective squads.

It is no different for Sarina Wiegman. The England boss is set to announce a provisional squad this week, before the final 23-player squad is announced in June.

In advance of Wiegman’s announcement, GiveMeSport Women assesses who will be selected for the provisional squad.

From “Will be watching at home” to “starting XI”, our Tiermaker ranks a whole host of stars on their chances of competing for England at Euro 2022.

These players will likely be watching Euro 2022 unfold from their sofa or a pub garden. Molly Bartrip and Ashleigh Neville may have been two of the standout players in the WSL this season, but they still haven’t been called up to the England squad, and that’s unlikely to change now.

Sandy MacIver is victim to the abundance of goalkeeping talent in England, with Mary Earps, Ellie Roebuck and Hannah Hampton almost certain to make the cut ahead of her.

While Lucy Staniforth and Gabby George have both featured for England in the Wiegman era, they have often only been called up because others are injured. If the majority of the main contenders stay fit, Staniforth and George will stay at home for Euro 2022.

Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly are among some of England’s best attacking talents, but both face a battle to prove they are fit for Euro 2022.

Kelly has just returned from an ACL injury, while Kirby has been struggling with fatigue. Both players were in their respective squads for the FA Cup Final this weekend, suggesting they could well be featuring for the Lionesses this summer.
