Taylor Hinds withdraws from England squad

Defender Taylor Hinds has been forced to withdraw from the England squad after sustaining an ankle injury last week.

Hinds will now return to her club, Arsenal, where she is set to undergo further assessment and receive necessary treatment.

The rest of the England group remains at St. George's Park as they continue preparations for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Spain. Following that fixture, the Lionesses are scheduled to return home to host Ukraine at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on 9 June.

The upcoming match in Spain carries significant stakes for the Lionesses, as avoiding defeat will secure England's qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
