Wiegman has also included several younger players in the squad, such as defender Niamh Charles and forward Lauren James.
England will be hoping to make a strong run in the tournament, which will be held in England from July 6 to 31. The Lionesses are ranked fifth in the FIFA Women's World Rankings and will be one of the favorites to win the tournament.
