Not only is Bronze one of England's most decorated players with her ever-expanding medal collection at club level, but she is by far the most experienced player in the squad after the retirements of White and Scott.
Several coaches and team-mates have previously labelled her the best player in the world and she has numerous individual honours to back it up, including the Fifa Best Player of the Year in 2020, Uefa Player of the Year in 2019 and Ballon d'Or runner-up in 2019. Having joined Barcelona last summer, she has now won four Champions League trophies and seven league titles in three countries - France, England and Spain. But she had to wait until England's victory at Euro 2022 for her first significant silverware on the international stage.
The former Manchester City defender's position in the team has not been under threat since she claimed the right-back spot off Alex Scott in 2015, which was the year she truly announced herself on the international stage at the World Cup.Bronze is known for the attacking threat she offers, which has also seen her score some memorable goals. Her iconic winner against Norway in the last 16 of the 2015 World Cup was included in a Fifa list of the best goals in the history of the competition.
Bronze, who won her 100th England cap in October, has struggled with knee injuries throughout her career and had surgery in April for another one, but is expected to be fully fit for the World Cup as England's undisputed first-choice right-back.
