SheBelieves 2019: Phil Neville Names 23-Player England Women Squad for Tournament in USA

England women's manager Phil Neville has named the 23-player squad that will represent the Lionesses at the 2019 edition of the annual SheBelieves Cup in the United States.

England finished second at last year's round robin event, ahead of France and Germany, and behind only the hosts and reigning world champions USA in the final standings.

This year's tournament, which features Brazil and Japan for the first time in place of usual participants France and Germany, will act as a crucial warm up ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

The SheBelieves Cup was first played in 2016 following on from the success of the last Women's World Cup.
