Anticipated Lionesses Euros Team: Inclusion of James and Parris; Le Tissier Excluded
Ready to dive into the Lionesses Euros squad prediction? Here's the lowdown, straight from the streets!
England's manager, Sarina Wiegman, will declare her squad soon, but one name conspicuously missing is Mary Earps, following her sudden retirement. Other talented ladies such as Fran Kirby and Millie Bright have also vacated the team, leaving a few spots up for grabs.
Who's Making the Cut for the Euros?
With Lauren James nursing a hamstring injury, her fitness remains a question mark. Our gut feeling? She'll make the squad, due to her explosive game when she's fully fit. Then there's Michelle Agyemang. Stepping up as a savvy scorer against Belgium, she's had a tough time getting game time since. In Aggie Beever-Jones' stead, we predict Wiegman will opt for the Arsenal hotshot, Nikita Parris, who brings valuable experience and solid leadership to the table.
Maya Le Tissier or Esme Morgan?
With Manchester United defender Maya Le Tissier delivering flawless performances, the debate centers on whether Wiegman will overlook Le Tissier in favor of Esme Morgan again. Despite Le Tissier's stellar form, Morgan has been preferred in the past, making team selection a intriguing mystery.
Finally, here's our our website's prediction for the Lionesses Euros squad, just in case you haven't heard the chatter on the streets:

Despite the absence of Mary Earps and some other key players, the Champions League and other European leagues will provide ample opportunities for potential replacements to showcase their skills. Wiegman is expected to keep an eye on the performances of players like Hannah Hampton, Lotte Wubben-Moy, and Nikita Parris, who could potentially make the cut for the Euros.
With Manchester United's Maya Le Tissier delivering impressive performances, the question arises whether she will be chosen over Esme Morgan in the defensive lineup, considering Morgan's past preference by Wiegman.
