Alessia Russo
(Arsenal) Forward, 26 years old; 50 caps. Now a Champions League winner with Arsenal and the newest member of England’s 50+ caps club, Russo will lead the line as the defending champions’ No 9 in Switzerland, having completed her evolution from supersub three years ago to becoming their key goal threat. The former Manchester United striker, England’s player of the year in the 2023-24 season, offers strength and an ability to run in the channels, stretch defences and finish one-on-one chances. The WSL’s joint top-scorer this season with 12 league goals, tied with Manchester City’s Bunny Shaw.
