I Can’t Say When Lauren James Will Be Able To Start Matches – Sarina Wiegman

Lionness manager Sarina Wiegman has refused to confirm if Lauren James will feature from the start vs France. Recall that England’s Euro 2025 opener against the French women is set to go down on Saturday.

According to her, Lauren is currently enjoying good fitness after her recent injuries, and the talented midfielder showed that she is ready for more minutes with her latest performance vs Jamaica.

Sarina added that she can’t say for sure if James would start against France, but the Chelsea player is surely good to go once called upon.

Her words, “She is in a good place. As you noticed, she came on the pitch against Jamaica last week and she is ready to get more minutes tomorrow.

We are not going to give you the line-up. She played 30 minutes last week and she can play more than that.”

WOW.

Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.

The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.

On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.

The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
