EXCLUSIVE: Lionesses legend Fara Williams picks out two players to be England's stand-out stars
Williamson was previously the first name on the England teamsheet but is now out of the World Cup“Obviously, Leah Williamson and Beth Mead [are out], another two key players to the squad, and Millie Bright is fighting fitness; she won’t have had that much gametime going into the tournament and she’s key [as] she’s our captain for the tournament.
“I think it will be a tougher task for us this year and I think the expectation and pressure now from the media will be even bigger than it was last year. “But look, I’m a big England fan and I hope we can go all the way. But, I think, realistically, quarter-finals is where I see the Lionesses falling a bit short.”
