England announce squad for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup

England Lionesses are the latest team to announce its squad to participate in this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.

One of the favourites for the trophy, the 2019 SheBelieves Cup winners used some very prolific people to read out Phil Neville’s team selection.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that our @Lionesses‘ defensive rock and captain @StephHoughton2 will be on the plane to France for the Women’s World Cup.

Steph – congratulations. I know you and the team will do the nation proud. Good luck!#BeReady #Lionesses pic.twitter.com/xoRHnNeCrI
