Steph Houghton
Will former captain Steph Houghton make the squad?

The England team for the Women's European Championship will be named on Wednesday.

The Lionesses are in a group with Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.

The coach has to make a decision on which five players to keep in the squad.

The defender hasn't played in a long time.

Fran Kirby hasn't played since February because of fatigue, but she's still in the running for the tournament.

The person is also a doubt.

Changes to the squad can be made until the first game due to illness or injury.

England will play four countries in a month.

Analysis

Emma is a sports reporter for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

If she takes Houghton, is it the biggest decision of her life? It would be a big risk because of her lack of playing time and the fact that she has not played in a while, but her leadership and experience would be important.

In Houghton's absence, Scott could give that experience. Is it possible that she can afford to take both Scott and Houghton?

Kirby would be shocked if she wasn't selected. Even if she isn't fully fit, she is still capable of having a big impact.

The forward could be a wild card. She was superb for both club and country before suffering from a knee injury, but came back at the end of the season looking dangerous for Manchester City. It could come at the expense of Nikita Parris, who has struggled for form, ifWiegman selects her.

The captain of Manchester United may not be in the starting lineup in the middle of the field, while two other players may be vying for one spot. Sandy MacIver is expected to miss out because he hasn't played in a while.
