Leah Williamson Returns to England Squad for Euro 2025 Qualifier

The Euro 2022-winning captain's comeback marks a significant and emotional moment for the team.

Leah Williamson, England's Euro 2022-winning captain, will make her first appearance for the national team in almost a year during the Euro 2025 qualifier against Ireland.
Williamson was sidelined due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury since last April and missed the 2023 World Cup.
Her return is described as 'emotional' by both Williamson and coach Sarina Wiegman, highlighting the significance of her comeback to the team.
Williamson's presence is expected to bring 'vision' and a competitive edge to England, as they aim to secure a victory against Ireland to improve their group standing.
The match against Ireland is critical for England's Euro 2025 qualification hopes, with the team currently third in their group.
