Sarina Wiegman's England squad will be looking forward to the return of domestic football following their frustration in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final.
The Lionesses were unable to match their Euro 2022 glory with a world title as a super Spain side clinched their first-ever World Cup in Sydney.
That disappointment has been balanced by huge fan support for the squad after they landed back in the UK. But attention will soon turn to the 2023/24 UEFA Women's Nations League, which is set to start at the end of September.
However, before those games, Wiegman's charges will be back in club action, as build up to the 2023/24 Women's Super League begins. Here, the Sporting News goes through each player and where they ply their club trade.

Where England's World Cup Lionesses play?
Wiegman's World Cup plans were disrupted by injuries to key players, which influenced her thinking in selecting a final 23-player panel for the flight Down Under, in July.
The majority of the 23 players picked for the World Cup ply their club trade in England's Women's Super League, with only three players contracted to clubs outside of their home nation.
