With Wiegman any players breaking through have to still convince her to use them. During the last match only Charles used from the bench wasn’t at the Euros.

Arsenal and Man City women both join Chelsea in the Champions League group stage, PSG out so no Earps in the CL which increases the chances further of Hampton really nailing down that place now.

Vera Jones has signed for Chelsea then. Not really a surprise I guess. Very strong squad and a range of skill sets. Interested to see how they do.

Good to see the squad going to U17 World Cup is pretty much full strength including Draper who missed the Euro tournament through injury. Only exception I guess would be Issy Hobson, who has come off the bench for Everton in their last two WSL games (against Manchester United & Arsenal) so I assume she was not released. Also Wellesley-Smith seems to have left Oxford for Arsenal. In a group with North Korea who are trying to win both global youth tournaments having lifted the U20 World Cup last month. Looks like all of our group fixtures are midnight kick offs and FIFA will be broadcasting these games on their website.
