Chelsea star Lauren James hands Lionesses major boost ahead of start of Euro 2025

Sarina Wiegman's side are currently preparing for the start of their European Championship campaign and have been boost by the return from injury of James. The Chelsea star is back in training with her international team-mates after time on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

James has not played since March but still made the squad and will be hoping to feature and play a key role in Switzerland. The news will be a boost, particularly as England's preparations for the tournament have been rocked by the decision of Mary Earps and Millie Bright to withdraw from the squad and retire from international football.

James scored three goals and picked up three assists from her five games at World Cup 2023 and the Lionesses will be hoping she can deliver again this summer at the Euros.

England play a friendly against Jamaica on June 29 and then kick off their Euro campaign against France on July 5.
