- Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have both stepped back from squad in recent days
Chelsea captain Millie Bright is the latest England star to declare herself unavailable for selection, with head coach Sarina Wiegman facing a burgeoning crisis ahead of the 2025 Euros.
Wiegman will announce the squad that will seek to defend the Lionesses 2022 title on Thursday, but is forced to go without a number of established stars.
Taking to Instagram, Bright wrote that she was unavailable to give 100 per cent ‘mentally or physically’.
‘This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025.
Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour. My pride and ego tells me to go, but I think the team and the fans deserve more. Right now I’m not able to give 100% mentally or physically.’
