Rebranding Sarina Wiegman's Women's Euro 2025 squad as a 'new England' will help the roster manage the pressure of defending their title, claims Lucy Bronze.
The right back, who spoke to Women’s Health UK ahead of her seventh major tournament, is a Lionesses legend and is one of 13 players in Wiegman's 23-strong group that won the Euros in 2022.
But the reigning champions' preparations for next month's tournament in Switzerland have been less than ideal.
Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have both retired from international football, while Millie Bright also made herself unavailable for selection, saying she is unable to give '100 per cent mentally or physically'.
