England have been dealt with a double injury blow, with both Grace Clinton and Katie Reid withdrawing from the squad ahead of their upcoming friendlies. Clinton was named in the squad despite missing Manchester City's last match against Liverpool through injury. She has scored once in her three matches since moving to City from rivals Manchester United, netting on her debut in a big win over West Ham.

"No, not at all. If it is something, then it is a good omen," Tuchel said in his press conference. "I was so happy for [Lionesses boss] Sarina [Wiegman] and [Under-21s boss] Lee [Carsley] because they made it, and they made an extraordinary effort and an extraordinary success with back-to-back victories. "It is possible [to win a trophy with England], there is no curse on English teams. So, it is a good omen, and we will do our very best to follow the example."

"I said to my wife this is going to be huge if the Lionesses win the Euros again. It's going to be so good for women's football and for women's sport because it gets everyone talking about it again."
