The former England striker recently apologised after stating that male pundits, such as Ian Wright, were standing in the way of women from being able to get onto television.
Wright is not set to be in Switzerland despite ITV having taken his side in the row earlier this year.
Sarina Wiegman’s England will play their opening match against France on July 5 in Zurich and also play the Netherlands and Wales in Group D of the Uefa competition.
The Lionesses won the competition on home soil in 2022 but will face a tricky test to qualify for the quarter-finals, with the French having beaten them in the qualification round. Additionally, the Dutch are former champions, having won the 2017 tournament.

If England are to go all the way again, they will need to do so without team stalwarts Fran Kirby and Mary Earps, both of whom have recently announced their international retirement. Experienced defender Millie Bright has also ruled herself out with injury.
Wiegman has denied there is a crisis facing her team, however, and has named Lauren James in her 23-woman squad - despite the Chelsea forward having been out since April.
“That is not the case,” said the Norwegian manager when asked about a potential crisis.
“We are going with these 23 to the Euros now and I feel very comfortable with this team. I am very happy with the team and I am very excited, and I am looking forward to it. For me, it doesn’t feel like a crisis at all.”
Here are some key details ahead of the football getting underway.
