England name Development squads

England’s next generation will be in action again this month when the WU23s make the short trip to France for a double header.

Mo Marley has named 24 players for two fixtures against France on Thursday 17th February and Sunday 20th February. The squad will be based in Lisieux for the games which will be played at Stade Pole de Normandie and Stade Louis Bielman respectively, with both kicking off at 3pm (local).

The fixtures come after the Young Lionesses returned to action last autumn under Marley’s guidance with a 1-0 win in Belgium followed by a 11-0 success against Estonia at St. George’s Park.

Meanwhile, Gemma Davies is taking a development squad to Spain for the Marbella International Tournament between 13-23 February. The trip will begin with a clash against Finland on Thursday 17 February at the Estadio Municipa Ciudad de La Linea, before they face Denmark five days later at the Marbella Football Center.

Head of Women’s Technical Development Kay Cossington said: “I am very happy that our players across the age groups will be getting more international experience with these matches.

“As well as testing themselves against strong opponents, the chance to travel abroad representing England will help them to learn more about each other as team mates and build closer connections on and off the pitch. This will all be so helpful to us as we look to build the player pathway through to the seniors.”
