Sarina Wiegman’s verdict on Lauren James’s fitness is unequivocally positive, with the England coach stating the forward is “in a good place” ahead of the Women’s Euros. James, recovering from a hamstring injury, is likely to make a substitute appearance in Sunday’s friendly against Jamaica.
This marks a significant step towards her full return for the tournament, and Wiegman’s comments underscore the confidence in James’s recovery and readiness. The thoroughness of her rehabilitation program is clearly paying off.
The focus is now on carefully managing her minutes to ensure she is at her peak when England faces their tough group stage opponents, maximizing her potential impact in the crucial matches to come.
