England players impose World Cup social media blackout on themselves after Euros abuse

England players are electing to stay off social media for the duration of the upcoming Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The Lionesses will make the trip down under on Wednesday ahead of their group opener against Haiti in Brisbane on July 22. Wiegman's side are among the favourites to go all the way at this summer's tournament and the Dutchwoman is keen to ensure her charges aren't distracted by any outside noise in the coming weeks.

That is something the players are taking seriously themselves, and the players are understood to have elected to come off their own personal socials during the duration of the tournament. They will, however, continue to share content through England Women's official channels.
