BREAKING NEWSEngland's World Cup captain Millie Bright joins Lionesses Euros exodus, making herself unavailable for selection in tomorrow's final squad - and doesn't mention boss Sarina Wiegman

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.

Former England No1 Mary Earps announced that she was retiring from international football in bombshell news last week, with Wiegman believed to have been caught off-guard by the decision.

On Tuesday, long-time England star and Bright's former Chelsea team-mate Fran Kirby also announced her retirement, three years on from starting in all six of the Lionesses' games on the road to their Euro 2022 triumph.
