Steph Houghton has said she has “hit every target so far” in proving her fitness for the England manager, Sarina Wiegman, and is confident she can get back to her best before the Euros.

“I back myself, I back my fitness, I back the work I’ve done that nobody’s seen, and I’m improving every single day,” said the 34-year-old. “I’m enjoying being back out on the pitch. I’m confident I can get back to my best.”
