England's preparations for their clash with Spain have been disrupted by an injury concern surrounding Leah Williamson. The Arsenal centre-back has missed the Gunners' last five matches with a hamstring injury and remains a doubt for Tuesday's encounter. Manager Sarina Wiegman confirmed Williamson is being carefully managed, stating she is a "question mark" for the match after training on Monday.

Williamson has been gradually eased back into action with England's medical team implementing a cautious approach. The defender has been following a specific rehabilitation plan, with Wiegman emphasizing the need to balance Williamson's fitness with match readiness. "We've been really really careful with her and she's careful," the England boss explained, adding that Williamson is progressing well within the established framework.

The potential absence of Williamson comes as Mary Earps prepares for what could be her final appearance for England. The goalkeeper's future with the national team remains uncertain, adding another layer of significance to the fixture against Spain. England will need to assess their defensive options carefully if Williamson is ruled out of the match.
