Injured forward Beth Mead is unlikely to be named in England's World Cup squad, manager Sarina Wiegman has said.
Arsenal's Mead, player of the tournament in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in November.
The World Cup begins on 20 July, with England's first group game against Haiti two days later.
"It's being realistic, and she was very realistic," said Wiegman, who named her final pre-World Cup squad on Tuesday.
"What we said now is, she's not in our plans now, just to really take the time to get back well," she added.
