Ellie Roebuck is one of England's three goalkeepers selected for Women's Euro 2022. The 22-year-old from Sheffield plays for Manchester City when she is not representing the national side.
While a calf injury ruled her out of Sarina Wiegman's first few camps as head coach, Roebuck was recalled in February. Speaking to the BBC ahead of the Euros, Roebuck said she was aiming to "play it cool" at the home tournament and help England to the trophy.
She said: "Playing for your country is one thing but to do that in a major tournament, and in your own country – it's incredible."

Who is Ellie Roebuck?
Roebuck started her professional career when she signed with Manchester City in January 2018. Deputising for the injured Karen Bardsley, her performance clearly impressed then-England boss Phil Neville, who named her in his national squad that October.
While helping Man City to both the FA Cup and League Cup, Roebuck was also making an impact on the international stage. She made her England debut in November 2018 against Austria and then her first start in April 2019.
At the end of the 2019/20 club season, she was awarded the inaugural Barclays FA WSL Golden Glove for achieving 10 clean sheets in 16 league appearances. Roebuck went on to play all four matches for Team GB's squad at the 2020 Olympics in Japan, where they were knocked out by Australia in the quarter-finals.
She was named as part of England's Euro squad this June but has yet to play a match. The team have defeated Austria 1-0 and Norway 8-0 ahead of their final Group A game against Northern Ireland on Friday (July 15).
What are Ellie Roebuck's stats?
Roebuck turned professional just over four years ago in January 2018. Here are her statistics to date, according to the England Football website.
- Senior caps: 8
- Senior clean sheets: 0
- Height: 5ft 9in (174cm)
