Check out this exciting news from the world of women’s soccer! Aggie Beever-Jones, a talented striker from Chelsea, has just earned her first-ever spot on the Lionesses squad. She’s been on fire in the Women’s Super League, scoring an impressive 11 goals in just 15 games this season under the guidance of coach Emma Hayes.
Coach Sarina Wiegman has put together a team of 24 players for some crucial Euro 2025 qualifiers. They’ll be facing off against France in May and June, and then taking on the Republic of Ireland and Sweden in July. Alongside Aggie, players like Maya Le Tissier, Missy Bo Kearns, Jess Naz, and goalkeeper Kayla Rendell are on standby, ready to step in if needed.
One notable return to the squad is defender Millie Bright from Chelsea, who’s back after recovering from a knee injury that kept her out for five months.
Right now, England is in second place in their qualifying group, just two points behind France. Their upcoming matches against France are set to be thrilling showdowns, with one game at Newcastle’s St James’ Park on May 31 and another in Saint-Etienne on June 4.
After that, the team will be gearing up for matches against the Republic of Ireland and Sweden in July. They’ll be training hard at St George’s Park before facing off against Ireland at Norwich’s Carrow Road on July 12 and then heading to Gothenburg to take on Sweden on July 16.
It’s going to be an exciting journey for the Lionesses, and fans can’t wait to see them in action!
