Arsenal quartet called into Lionesses squad for Euro 2022

Arsenal’s Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Nikita Parris and Beth Mead have all been called into Sarina Wiegman’s England squad for this summer’s European Championships, which take place in England.

Williamson will captain the team at the championships. Wiegman confirmed her 23-woman squad for the tournament, trimming it down from the 28-woman provisional squad.

Sandy McIver (Everton), former Gunner Steph Houghton (Manchester City), Katie Zelem (Manchester United), Lucy Staniforth (Manchester United) and Niamh Charles (Chelsea) were cut from the provisional squad.

England get the tournament underway at a sold out Old Trafford as they play Austria on July 6th, the final takes place at Wembley on 31st July.

Meanwhile, the FA confirmed today that the 2022-23 season will get underway on the weekend beginning 9th September this season and games will take place during the men’s World Cup in November and December. The final weekend of the season will take place at the slightly later time of 27th / 28th May. The FA Cup Final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 14th May.

Elsewhere, the Austria squad for Euro 2022 has yet to be confirmed but Arsenal’s Manu Zinsberger and Laura Wienroither are virtual certainties to be selected. Vivianne Miedema has, of course, been selected for Netherlands, Stina Blackstenius has been selected for Sweden, Frida Maanum for Norway and while Switzerland have yet to totally confirm their squad, Lia Walti and Noelle Maritz are certainties for selection- fitness permitting. Simone Boye will also be selected for Denmark in all likelihood.

Fun Gunner

Congratulations to Leah,
Beth, Lotte & Nikita. Would have been astonishing to leave the first three out, certainly. Best of luck to all our Arsenal Women Internationals – have a great tournament and please don’t get injured!

My feeling exactly 🤞👍

Great that they play during the desert world cup because I am going full media black out on that tournament.
