Nikita Parris has released a statement of hurt and support for her fellow Lioness teammates after she missed out on Sarina Wiegman’s 2023 Women’s World Cup selection.
The 29-year-old was part of Wiegman’s European winning side, seeing out the dying minutes of the latter stages of the tournament. The problem? She was waiting in line behind Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly for country, and battling with Lucia Garcia for a spot on the right flank at United.
But, she misses out on the 23-player selection to the likes of Lauren James, Katie Robinson, Kelly and Hemp who have all seen more Women’s Super League action.
