Chelsea defender Millie Bright has withdrawn her name from consideration for England’s squad for next month's European Championship, saying she is not at her best.
Bright made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday, on the eve of England's Euro 2025 squad selection.
"My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more," she wrote. "Right now I'm not able to give 100% mentally or physically."
The 31-year-old had withdrawn from England's recent camp for two Nations League games saying she was mentally and physically at her limit.
Her withdrawal ahead of the Euros in Switzerland, where England will defend their 2022 title, is a big blow to Sarina Wiegman's squad after veteran goalkeeper Mary Earps announced her international retirement recently.
