Sarina Wiegman's England moves into a new era after Euro 2022 glory

As Leah Williamson lifted the Euro 2022 trophy in front of 87,192 fans at Wembley, women’s football in England changed forever.

Increased media scrutiny of players, more investment from brands and sponsors, record attendances at Women’s Super League matches – all of this and more will transpire in the coming weeks.

But seismic movements have not just happened off the pitch. Since Euro 2022 came to a conclusion, Sarina Wiegman’s squad has already started to evolve.

This has largely been outside of her control, with Ellen White and Jill Scott deciding to go out on a high and hang up their boots with a European gold medal around their necks.

They have been replaced in England’s squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers by Ebony Salmon and Jordan Nobbs, while Katie Zelem and Lauren James were called up with Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly out injured.

Reserve goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was also swapped out for Sandy MacIver.

Both White and Scott have been a mainstay for England for years. The latter made her debut in 2006, cementing a place in the heart of the team’s midfield.
