England Women head coach Sarina Wiegman has named her squad for the friendly against Wales on Tuesday 11 April at the Cardiff City Stadium.

The squad includes several players who have recently returned from injury, including Lucy Bronze, Niamh Charles and Ella Toone.

Bronze has been out of action since suffering a knee injury in November, while Charles and Toone have both been sidelined with hamstring injuries.

Wiegman will be hoping that all three players are fit enough to feature in the match against Wales, as she continues to prepare her team for this summer's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The match against Wales will be England's first game since their 4-0 win over Japan in November. It will also be their first game at the Cardiff City Stadium since their 3-1 win over Wales in 2019.

England are currently ranked fourth in the world by FIFA, while Wales are ranked 32nd.
