FA gets clearance for players to gather for training on 19 June Bayern’s Georgia Stanway the only player who may be missing
England’s preparations for the Women’s World Cup have received a boost after the Football Association won its tussle with clubs over the release date for players to start preparations. The squad, with the possible exception of Bayern Munich’s Georgia Stanway, have been cleared to begin training on 19 June in line with Sarina Wiegman’s wishes.
The clubs had been pushing for England’s manager to respect a deal the European Club Association reached with Fifa for a release timeframe of 23-29 June. But it has been confirmed that all the players at Women’s Super League clubs and Barcelona’s Lucy Bronze will be free to travel to St George’s Park on 19 June. Bayern have previously said they will not release anyone before 23 June.
