Arsenal forward Beth Mead has said she will be England's "No 1" fan at this summer's Women's World Cup, despite not making Sarina Wiegman's 23-player squad.
Mead hasn't featured for club or country since November, when she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] in the Gunners' Women's Super League defeat to Manchester United.
The 28-year-old, who was the top scorer at Euro 2022, revealed earlier this month she was "ahead of schedule" in her recovery and refused to completely rule herself out of the World Cup, however Wiegman said at her squad announcement on Wednesday that she was “not willing to take the risk to push her too much”.
