Former England captain Steph Houghton has a slim chance of making the women's World Cup squad but the door is"never closed" on a potential return, coach Sarina Wiegman said on Monday.
The 34-year-old centre back has 121 international caps but last played for England in 2021, as she dealt with an Achilles injury and underwent surgery in February 2022. "Steph is a very good, experienced player who I have lots of respect for. I have respect for what she has done for her country, but I have players in that position that I don't want to take out because I think they have performed really well.
The Lionesses beat Brazil in a penalty shootout in the inaugural Women's Finalissima last week and Wiegman said they would not be making many changes against Australia, who are ranked 10th in the world.
