Lauren James is back with a bang! Winners & losers from England's Euro 2025 warm-up rout of Jamaica as Ella Toone & Jess Carter enhance bids to start - but 2022 hero Chloe Kelly looks set for the bench

No one stated their case to start more clearly on Sunday than Toone, who scored twice in the first half to set England on their way to a comfortable and convincing win. The Manchester United midfielder came into the game having not netted for her country since February of last year so, given the competition she faces to be in the line-up for this tournament, she couldn't have picked a better time to end that drought.

It wasn't just about Toone's two goals either - both remarkably cool finishes from the edge of the box, one with her right and then one with her left. No, the 25-year-old enjoyed a superb overall performance, with accurate and positive passes, great movement and a strong work ethic off the ball.

"No matter what roles I have in the tournament, I'll make sure I give my best for the team," she told ITV afterwards. But, with this performance only adding to the great form Toone has shown in 2025, it would be a surprise if she isn't in the line-up on Saturday - and if she can bring that goal-scoring threat throughout England's time in Switzerland, the Lionesses' chances of retaining their European title will only increase.

Another player who looks likely to be in England's starting XI on Saturday is Carter, who was given the opportunity from the get-go against Jamaica at the expense of former Chelsea team-mate Charles. Carter was in for the win over Portugal at the end of the May where she impressed, and she picked up where she left off in that game here, with the highlight of Sunday's outing for her certainly the wonderful cross she delivered for Lucy Bronze's first-half header.

Charles got the nod over Carter when England faced Spain in early June, which was a much tougher assignment than those Carter has been given against Portugal and Jamaica. However, Charles' struggles in that game, combined with Carter's start on Sunday, mean it feels likely that it will be the latter in from the off against France.

It's a hard choice for Wiegman. Neither are naturals in the left-back role, despite their efforts and application, and both have had ups and downs in it. Indeed, on Sunday, Carter's lack of pace was a concern more than once, which is a bit of a worry for England given Les Bleues are blessed with speed out wide. Charles isn't especially quick either, though, with it instead looking like the Lionesses' boss is going to bank on the greater defensive nous of a natural centre-back, in Carter.

There are two different perspectives to be taken when it comes to the position Kelly is in as Euro 2025 approaches. On the one hand, she will just be delighted to be involved. Having struggled for much game time at all at Manchester City in the first half of the season, the winger was dropped from the England squad for the first time under Wiegman and her chances of going to Switzerland this summer were in serious doubt. Fortunately, a January loan move to Arsenal brought with it increased minutes and, in turn, made her a secure member of the Lionesses again.

However, it looks like Kelly - whose goal at Wembley delivered the Euro 2022 title - will go to the tournament as a substitute. Despite her impressive form in 2025, the 27-year-old hasn't started for her country since the turn of the year, even though she has often been playing ahead of Mead at Arsenal in that time - and it is her Gunners' team-mate who Wiegman prefers to start on the right at the moment, with Kelly coming off the bench.

That could all change throughout Euro 2025, of course. After all, Kelly is featuring regularly as a sub and her 30-minute appearance on Sunday was bright, with several dangerous crosses put in. But, just as she had to fight to get back into the Lionesses' picture, the Euro 2022 hero is going to have to battle hard to earn that game time in her opportunities from the bench.

There were so many positives for Wiegman and England on Sunday, but perhaps none bigger than the return of James. After sustaining a hamstring injury on Lionesses duty in early April, the Chelsea winger did not play for club or country before the end of the 2024-25 season. It meant that when the England squad for Euro 2025 was announced, there were serious doubts around just how fit the 23-year-old was.

Fortunately, judging by Sunday's 30-minute cameo, she looks extremely ready. James has been praised throughout the last three months for her hard work off the pitch, in her bid to be ready for the summer, and all of that effort culminated in a wonderfully bright return against Jamaica.

Within seconds of stepping onto the turf in Leicester, James so nearly had an assist to her name, but for great goalkeeping by Liya Brooks. There was only so long she could be denied, though, as just a few minutes later, the Chelsea winger curled a lovely cross onto the head of Russo for England's fourth of the day. She could've had more, too, as she was able to create four chances in her short time on the pitch in a performance that will have surely boosted the confidence of every Lionesses fan ahead of this European title defence.

It's just less than three months since Michelle Agyemang announced herself as a potential star of the future, netting a stunner only 41 seconds into her senior England debut. It was a strike that sparked incredible excitement and real intrigue around just what Wiegman would do with this talented teenager. Had she made her mark too late to be in consideration for the Euros? Or was it just in time? It turned out to be the latter, with the Arsenal product nipping in to grab a spot at the last minute.

However, it is not since she came off the bench to score on her debut in Belgium that Lionesses fans have seen Agyemang. Some thought she may be excluded from the senior squad this summer because it would allow her to get plenty of minutes with England's Under-19s, who played their Euros in June. When she was chosen by Wiegman, then, many expected her to feature, to make that decision worthwhile and useful for the teenager's development.

But after being an unused sub in both of England's final Nations League games at the end of the season, Agyemang had the same role on Sunday. While it doesn't mean she won't get opportunities at Euro 2025, and there is something to be said of not over-exposing her at such an early stage, it is a surprise that the forward hasn't been allowed to add to her lone cap before heading out to such a big tournament.

One position in this England line-up that felt slightly up for debate was that of the box-to-box midfield role. Not so much because of incredibly intense competition for the place, but rather because of some concerns around Georgia Stanway's fitness.

The 26-year-old only had knee surgery five months ago, which was severe enough to end her season for Bayern Munich. Indeed, it wasn't until England's clash with Portugal in late May that Stanway made her return to action, playing the last 15 minutes from the bench. Four days later, the midfielder started against Spain and looked sharp, but was withdrawn at half-time as Wiegman continued to be careful with her loading.

It was extremely positive, then, to see Stanway complete 90 minutes on Sunday - for the first time in 2025. Clinton is likely to be used as an important sub to keep the Bayern star fresh and looked after in Switzerland, but it does feel like Stanway is absolutely nailed on to start regularly after this important milestone, which she only added to by netting a wonderful goal.
