The England boss has left Izzy Christiansen out of his 23-player squad.

Phil Neville believes he is taking a squad "full of world-class players" to the Women's World Cup and is "absolutely convinced" England will enjoy a successful tournament.

Lionesses manager Neville has announced his 23-player selection for the competition, which begins in France on June 7.

England, ranked third in the world, are among the pre-tournament favourites and kick off their campaign against Scotland in Nice on June 9.

"Since I got the job, I don't think I've shied away from the expectations, the ambition of this team," said Neville, whose side also face Argentina and Japan in Group D.

"And I sit here today in a position where I'm absolutely convinced we can go to this World Cup and have a good successful tournament.

"We've got a squad that is highly motivated, we've got a squad that is full of world-class players and we've got a squad that now has the confidence and belief to go to a World Cup to be successful.

"That gives me great confidence as a manager."
