- England manager Sarina Wiegman hopes Mary Earps receives a deserved send-off before the World Cup qualifier against Spain at Wembley.
- Earps retired from international duty ahead of Euro 2025, having been a key player in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 victory and 2023 World Cup final run.
- Her autobiography, All In, published last November, caused controversy due to comments criticising Hannah Hampton's inclusion in the Lionesses squad.
- Earps later expressed regret over the comments in her book, stating she had "learned some tough lessons" from the fallout.
- Wiegman has put the incident behind her, emphasising Earps' inspirational role and hoping for a celebratory reception for the former world's best goalkeeper.
