England for the
World Cup qualifiers against Austria and Latvia.
The manager, Sarina Wiegman, gave the armband to Arsenal’s centre-back Leah Williamson during her first camp in the absence of the longtime captain Steph Houghton, who is yet to return from an achilles injury, and the experienced full-back Lucy Bronze. With Williamson out with a hamstring injury, Bright has been chosen.
