England star James is back from a ban for the Spain clash on Sunday but she remains in competition with replacement Ella Toone for a starting spot.
Chelsea manager Emma Hayes refused to step on England boss Sarina Wiegman’s toes
The 21-year-old Blues forward scored three goals and picked up the same number of assists before she was sent off in the Lionesses’ last-16 victory over Nigeria and given a two-match ban for stepping on the back of defender Michelle Alozie. James’ club boss Hayes said: “I think you know, I’m a manager but picking someone else’s team is not my job. It’s Sarina’s. My job is to enjoy it. Those players are prepared for whatever happens and for whatever team Sarina picks. I’m sure Lauren would be ready.“Lauren is just very excited to be in a World Cup final as all of the England players are. They are all excited.
