Parsons says he has had “sleepless months” because of the choices he had to make. “We have tried to form the best group, the best team for what will be a great summer. Not just for us, but for all of women’s football. It is a group with a lot of qualities, with a lot of experience in big games and big tournaments, and with many players who have won trophies with their clubs this season I would have loved to have brought 31 players to England but I can’t. We had to make choices. We know we have 23 players who are ready and eight who are be ready to step in if needed.”
