England manager Sarina Wiegman believes the Lionesses sent a “message to the world” in response to the “disgusting” racist abuse suffered by defender Jess Carter during Euro 2025 as they prepare for the semi-final against Italy on Tuesday.
England’s players have said they will not take the knee before kick-off against Italy after Carter revealed she had been sent “vile” and “abhorrent” racist abuse online throughout the tournament and would be stepping away from social media.
