Sarina Wiegman had no room for sentiment for Lucy Bronze despite the full-back reaching a century of appearances for England against Czech Republic on Tuesday.
The Euro 2022 champions picked up a big scalp in their first fixture during this international break with a 2-1 victory over world champions USA, without the services of injured captain Leah Williamson. Defender Millie Bright was handed the armband in Williamson's absence, though many felt Lucy Bronze could step in as skipper for the clash with Czech Republic due to it being her 100th cap.
However, Wiegman overlooked Bronze to again stick with Bright, having clarified her thoughts on the situation in the lead up to the game. “When Millie (Bright) plays, Millie will be captain,” England's head coach told the media in her pre-match press conference on Monday.
