The latest BBC Women's Football Weekly podcast features in-depth analysis of England's Lionesses squad announcement, with captain Leah Williamson returning for the first time since Euro 2025. Host Emma Sanders sits down with manager Sarina Wiegman to discuss the team's approach to player minutes and the potential need for a recognised left-back following Poppy Pattinson's inclusion.

The panel, including Ben Haines, Ellen White, and Jen Beattie, examines how Manchester City's domestic dominance in the WSL might be linked to their absence from the Champions League this season. With a month-long break in the WSL schedule approaching, the team debates the impact on competing clubs and whether City's European-free campaign has given them a crucial advantage.

The episode also covers Scotland's squad announcement for their Luxembourg double-header, previews the Champions League play-off round second legs, and looks ahead to the FA Cup fifth round. The hosts share their thoughts on which Winter Olympic sports they'd compete in, adding a lighter touch to the comprehensive football discussion.
