England's World Cup preparations are in jeopardy with some clubs refusing to release players in time for manager Sarina Wiegman's desired start date.
The Lionesses' boss had wanted all of her players in camp by June 19 but several clubs will not make their stars available until four days later, which is a date that has been agreed by the European Club Association and FIFA.
Bayern Munich, who have midfielder Georgia Stanway, have publicly said they will not release players before the agreed date while leading English sides are also reluctant to do so.
