Leah Williamson ruled out of Sarina Wiegman's England squad due to injury with Millie Turner called up to replace the Euro 2022-winning captain

Leah Williamson has withdrawn from her first England squad since last April due to injury, with Millie Turner called up in place of the Euro 2022-winning captain.

Arsenal described the 26-year-old's problem as a 'minor hamstring injury' ahead of Saturday's 3-1 victory over Manchester United, less than a month after Williamson returned to action for the Gunners following a nine-month recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

World Cup runners-up England travel to Spain on Monday ahead of two friendlies against Austria and Italy, with Manchester United defender Turner replacing Williamson in Sarina Wiegman's squad.
