Wiegman says forward ‘still recovering’ from ankle injury

Toone predicts Euros will change Agyemang’s life

England do not know whether Lauren James will be available for Sunday’s Euro 2025 final, Sarina Wiegman has said, with the Lionesses waiting nervously on the Chelsea forward’s fitness.

James, who was withdrawn at half-time in England’s semi-final win over Italy after sustaining an ankle injury, has started all five of the defending champions’ matches in Switzerland but is a doubt for their showdown with Spain.

“She’s still recovering,” Wiegman said on Friday. “She’s doing things on the [training] pitch and we have two more days so we’re going to give her time. We don’t know yet [if she’ll be ready], but that’s what we’re going to go for – [aiming for] 23 players available for the game on Sunday.”
