Ramona Bachmann is the final Chelsea player to be selected to compete at the Women's European Championships later this month.

The 26-year-old Swiss forward joins eight of the other Blues heading over to the Netherlands for the tournament, which kicks off on July 16.

Bachmann, who was Chelsea's joint-second top scorer in the Spring Series, has been a full international for a decade.

The Blues striker will be helping her nation improve from previous tournament appearances having reached the last 16 of the Women's World Cup in 2015.

This will be Switzerland's first appearance at these finals as they begin their group stage against Austria before games against Iceland and France.

Luckily for Bachmann, she won't have to face her Chelsea teammates in the group stages as Switzerland are in Group C compared to England in Group D.

Bachmann joins other Blues Maren Mjelde, Erin Cuthbert, Carly Telford, Millie Bright, Karen Carney, Fran Kirby, Hedvig Lindahl and Ana Borges in being selected for the Euros.
