Manchester United Women's Ella Toone included in Sarina Wiegman's England squad for the World Cup

The Manchester United forward, who comes from Tyldesley, was part of last year’s Euros victory, and has enjoyed another strong season in the WSL.

The upcoming tournament takes place in Australia and New Zealand, with the action getting underway on July 20.

Responding to the news of her inclusion on social media, Toone wrote: “Buzzing to be part of this team. World Cup here we come.”

England manager Sarina Wiegman has named Chelsea’s Millie Bright as captain in the absence of the injured Leah Williamson.

Meanwhile, Euros top scorers Beth Mead has been left out of the squad due to a anterior cruciate ligament injury, which has kept her sidelined since November.

England start their World Cup campaign against Haiti on July 22 (K.O. 10.30am), before further group games against Denmark (July 28, K.O. 9.30am) and China (August 1, K.O. 12pm).
