England defender Millie Bright has made herself unavailable for selection for this summer’s Euros, saying she is unable to “give 100% mentally or physically”.
The 31-year-old withdrew from this month’s Nations League squad, with the Football Association saying the centre-back was taking “an extended period of recovery”.
Bright later cited burnout as the reason for her decision, after a Women’s Super League campaign that saw Bright make 36 appearances in all competitions.
Capped 88 times for England, Bright was captain when they were beaten by Spain in the 2023 World Cup final.
She was a regular in the 2022 Euros squad, when the Lionesses won the tournament for the first time with victory over Germany at Wembley.
