Lionesses manager in talks over when her squad will conveneTournament begins on 20 July in Australia and New Zealand
Sarina Wiegman is caught in a club v country tussle after naming her World Cup squad, with the England manager fearing her plans to get the players together in less than three weeks could be blocked.
Wiegman wants to begin preparations on 19 June and said clubs had been alerted to this in November. But the European Club Association is understood to be united behind a deal it reached with Fifa this month for a release timeframe of 23-29 June. The Football Association is searching for a solution with clubs.
