Euro 2025 final: Jess Carter starts for England against Spain

Sarina Wiegman has made one change to the England team for Sunday's Euro 2025 final against Spain with Jess Carter replacing Esme Morgan in defence.

Carter had started each of England's games at the tournament before being dropped for Morgan in the semifinal win over Italy. Despite Morgan impressing against Le Azzurri, she has dropped down to the bench for the final.
