Mo Marley Names Her England Squad for the Women’s U-19 Euro Finals

Mo Marley has named her England squad to take on the continent’s elite next month.

Her side will travel to Turkey to compete in the UEFA European Women’s U19 Championship Finals and the Head Coach has kept faith with 14 of the 18 players that helped propel them to this stage.

There is also room for former U17 internationals Aoife Mannion, Paige Williams, Abbey-Leigh Stringer and the prolific Sunderland forward Beth Mead.

England have been drawn in Group B alongside the Swedes (who they will face on 2 July), Spain (5 July) and Serbia (8 July).

Group A comprises Turkey, Portugal, Denmark and Romania and the top two sides in each group will make it through to the semi-finals.

"Our group is particularly strong, because three of the teams have actually won the European Championship in the past," said Marley. "I don't think you can take anything for granted, but I think that gives teams that little extra advantage."

Squad in full:

Goalkeepers:
Mary Earps (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Megan Walsh (Aston Villa)

Defenders:
Lara Fay (Chelsea), Alex Greenwood (Everton), Aoife Mannion (Aston Villa), Jasmine Matthews (Bristol Academy), Meaghan Sargeant (Lincoln Ladies), Paige Williams (Everton)

Midfielders:
Elizabeth Ince (Blackburn Rovers), Kasia Lipka (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Sherry McCue (Aston Villa), Jessica Sigsworth (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Abbey-Leigh Stringer (Aston Villa)

Forwards:
Danielle Carter (Arsenal), Bethany England (Doncaster Rovers Belles), Beth Mead (Sunderland), Nikita Parris (Everton), Keira Ramshaw (Sunderland)
