Title: Hinds exits England squad due to ankle issue

Defender Taylor Hinds has pulled out of the England squad following an ankle injury sustained last week. She is set to reunite with Arsenal to receive further medical evaluation and treatment.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the England team will carry on their training sessions at St. George's Park as they prepare for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Spain, which will be held at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Following the clash with Spain, the Lionesses will travel back to England to take on Ukraine at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium on 9 June. A result that avoids defeat against Spain will secure England’s spot at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. The expanded tournament, featuring 32 teams, is scheduled to take place from 24 June to 25 July next year.
