Five of England’s European Championship-winning squad have been nominated for this year’s women’s Ballon d’Or, including three Arsenal players who claimed a club and country double of European titles this summer.
Leah Williamson, Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly all shared Champions League and Euros triumphs, and are joined on the nominees list by Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton, who both won domestic trebles with Chelsea and clinched back-to-back European titles with victory over Spain in Basel last month.
