France vs England preview
Fans may notice that France will be playing without Wendie Renard and Eugenie Le Sommer as they have been left out of the Euro 2025 squad.
However, the French still have a lot of fire power and will prove a tricky opponent for England.
The Lionesses are without some of their stars too, most notably Mary Earps as she retired pre-tournament.
In FourFourTwo’s opinion the game will end in a 1-1 draw..
