England Women World Cup squad recap: Beth Mead misses out after injury battle, Millie Bright and Lucy Bronze with injury battles and Bright named captain, Maya Le Tissier surprisingly misses out

Sarina Wiegman named the England World Cup squad for the women's tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

Sarina Wiegman has named her 23 player squad for the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which starts in July.

England will be one of the favourites for the tournament having won the Euros last summer and followed it up by defeating reigning champions USA at Wembley and won the Finalissima against Brazil.

It's not all been easy for Weigman however, with several high profile players including captain Leah Williamson and Beth Mead out with injuries.

Millie Bright will wear the armband in place of Williamson with goalkeeper Mary Earps set to be vice-captain.

The biggest surprise at the announcement was the absence of Manchester United's Maya Le Tissier, with the defender named on the standby list.
