‘I believe that when I step onto the pitch, I can create moments and goals out of nothing. I’ve got a name for myself for scoring in big moments – I like that’ Ella Toone on her big-game temperament

Euro 2025 kicks off next month and England will begin their title defence without the trio of Euro 2022 winners Mary Earps, Fran Kirby and Millie Bright amid an unsettled build-up for Sarina Wiegman’s side.

Earps and Kirby opted to announce their international retirements prior to this summer’s tournament, while Bright, who captained the side to the World Cup final two years ago, withdrew from selection to take an ‘extended period of recovery.’
