England boss Phil Neville says he will be "ruthless" when it comes to picking his squad for the Women's World Cup.

"I know how I am going to do it, I know when I am going to do it - I just don't know who it is going to be."

Under Neville, the Lionesses won the She Believes Cup in March after drawing with the United States, who are top of Fifa's world rankings, and beating Brazil and Japan.

When asked about the selection process, Neville replied: "It is going to be difficult, you know it and I know it. It is coming.

"We have spoken to the players about it, how we are going to do it, what is going to happen.

"Now is the time for me to probably be ruthless and put the best players on that plane.

"I thank them for what they have done for the past 14 months and the efforts.

"They have four weeks to stay fit, keep in form and keep charging forward - because the train doesn't stop now."
