Arsenal have confirmed their squad for the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup final stage, which begins on Wednesday.
It includes Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly and Daphne van Domselaar, all of whom have been absent recently due to injury.
The 24-player squad includes four goalkeepers – van Domselaar, Anneke Borbe, Naomi Williams and Amy Liddiard.
Kyra Cooney-Cross, who returned to Australia to be with her mother after a diagnosis of cancer, rejoined the group earlier in January, but head coach Renee Slegers said last week that she was lacking match fitness. However, she is also named in the squad.

They also include plenty of USA internationals, notably Jaedyn Shaw, Rose Lavelle and Emily Sonnett, who won Olympic gold with the national team in Paris back in 2024.
Brentford Stadium is set to host the two semi-finals on Wednesday – first as Gotham FC face SC Corinthians at 12:30 GMT (13:30 CET) before Arsenal take on ASFAR at 18:00 GMT (19:00 CET).
The third-place play-off and the final to crown a champion from across the continents take place at the Emirates on Sunday.
