CHELSEA forward Lauren James’ fitness for this summer's Euros could come down to the wire, admits England boss Sarina Wiegman.

Wiegman hopes James is ready

The 23-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in April, missing the business end of the Blues’ sixth-straight Women's Super League title-winning campaign, and remains unavailable for England’s upcoming Nations League meetings with Portugal and Spain.

Experienced trio Georgia Stanway, Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp all make their respective returns from long-term knee injuries, while there is a maiden senior call-up for Tottenham defender Ella Morris.

“We look at (James) as an individual,” said Wiegman. “She is where she should be at. She can’t join us in the next camp but with her we are trying to build her with her club.
