Riise reveals 24 England players on 35-player Team GB shortlist

England interim head coach Hege Riise has confirmed that the 24 players called up for the Lionesses' April fixtures are all on the 35-player Team GB shortlist.

The list of names in contention to represent Great Britain in the women's football tournament at this summer's Olympic Games was cut from 50 to 35 earlier this month, with the final squad of 18 expected to be announced in May.

England's games against France and Canada in this upcoming international break will be the final opportunity for Riise, who will be the head coach of Team GB this summer, to see her options in this setting before then.
