England Lionesses captain 'devastated' by Mary Earps retirement
Briefly

Leah Williamson, the captain of the England women's football team, has voiced her support for Millie Bright's withdrawal from the squad to focus on her mental and physical health. Bright, who led the team in past championships, feels at her limits and emphasizes the importance of self-care. Concurrently, goalkeeper Mary Earps has announced her retirement from international play, citing a desire to create opportunities for younger talent. These significant changes have come shortly before the upcoming Euros, marking a pivotal time for the team.

"It has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life, to wear this badge, represent my country and play alongside such an incredible group of players."
