In the upcoming Women's Euros, seven promising young players under the age of 23 have been identified as potential standouts. Aggie Beever-Jones, a 21-year-old forward for England and Chelsea, seized her opportunity in the absence of injured duo Alessia Russo and Ella Toone, scoring a hat-trick against Portugal. Carrie Jones, a 21-year-old Welsh midfielder currently playing for IFK Norrkoping, is a versatile player with four seasons in the WSL and six years with the national team under her belt. Salma Paralluelo, a 21-year-old Spanish midfielder playing for Barcelona, is a physical winger who boasts multiple domestic and international titles. Wieke Kaptein, a 19-year-old Dutch midfielder playing for Chelsea, has quickly become a first-team regular and was identified as one of the unsung heroes of the Blues' invincible WSL season. Franziska Kett, a 20-year-old German defender playing for Bayern Munich, is set to play in her first major tournament. Sydney Schertenleib, an 18-year-old Swiss midfielder playing for Barcelona, has quickly established herself as a first-team regular. Alice Sombath, a 21-year-old French defender playing for Lyon, is one of several young defenders looking to capitalize on the omission of Wendie Renard from the squad for the Euros.
