England Expects As World Cup Squad Named

Last updated : 08 May 2019 By Three Lions

Phil Neville has revealed the players he believes can come back from France 2019 as world champions, naming a 23-player squad on Wednesday.

On the back of a victory in the SheBelieves Cup earlier this year, Neville believes that his group of players 'now has the confidence and belief to go to a World Cup to be successful.'

A number of the squad will be making their first trip to a World Cup while Karen Carney and Jill Scott are set for their fourth tournament although the similarly-experienced Fara Williams has been left out.

England begin their campaign against Scotland on Sunday, 9 June.

They will also face Argentina and 2011 champions Japan in the group stage.

The domestic-based players have one more match in the FA WSL and Championship this coming weekend while England have two warm-up friendlies scheduled, against Denmark on 25th May and New Zealand on 1st June.
