Women's Euro 2025 qualifying: England have work to do after 'unnecessary' France defeat

in Newcastle has left them with some catching up to do if they want to secure qualification for next summer's Euros.

"We have to win out in France if we want to be in a good position in July," Wiegman told BBC Radio 5 Live. Bright's lack of match sharpness was evident as France's pacy forwards threatened, while England's backline were undone by two set-pieces on the night. "Of course it’s ideal to have a left-footer too, Millie can play with her left foot on the right side, Leah is pretty comfortable on the left side," said Wiegman.

It was Wiegman's 50th match in charge and she said it was "a very unnecessary loss" but maintained her belief that England played well for most of the game.Despite calling up several new players in recent months, including Manchester United midfielder Grace Clinton, Manchester City's Jess Park and Chelsea's Aggie Beever-Jones, Wiegman named a side against France that consisted of eight of the 11 starters from Euro 2022.
