Lauren James’s return from a hamstring injury couldn’t come at a better time for England as they prepare to defend their title at the Women’s Euros. The forward is expected to see action as a substitute in Sunday’s friendly against Jamaica, providing a timely boost to the squad’s attacking options and overall confidence.
Coach Sarina Wiegman is carefully integrating her back into the team, ensuring she regains match fitness without risking re-injury. Teammate Jess Carter emphasized James’s renewed sharpness, calling her a “pain to play against,” which speaks volumes about her current form.
Her presence will undoubtedly strengthen England’s bid for further success, adding another layer of unpredictability and flair to their play. The defending champions will be keen to leverage James’s unique talents in Switzerland.
