England manager Sarina Wiegman has tested positive for Covid prior to the team's final group game against Northern Ireland on Friday.
The Football Association says Wiegman will now "undertake a period of recovery at the squad's base camp".
Assistant coach Arjan Veurink will lead the side against Northern Ireland.
England go into the match having already qualified for the quarter-finals as group winners following wins against Austria and Norway.
They will play their last-eight game on Wednesday, 20 July.
"Wiegman will remain in remote contact with the players and technical staff and will be monitored regularly with a view to returning to all elements of her role as soon as possible," said the FA.
