Earps, Hampton fallout: What we know so far from ex-England teammates

Two England women's goalkeepers have hit the headlines recently, as Mary Earps' new book has caused issues with current No. 1 Hannah Hampton, as well as England manager Sarina Wiegman, But what do we know and what else could happen soon?

What happened?

It began on Saturday, when excerpts from Earps' autobiography "All In: Football, Life and Learning to be Unapologetically Me" were published in The Guardian, serializing the book ahead of its Nov. 6 release. In those excerpts, the 32-year-old launched a scathing attack on her former manager Wiegman -- the same woman who brought Earps back into the Lionesses fold after she was dropped by previous boss Phil Neville -- and on her successor Hampton, who saved two penalties in Euro 2025 final and won the inaugural Women's Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper at the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
