'I'm not able to give 100%' - Bright out of Euros
Published: 6/4/2025

England defender Millie Bright has made the tough decision to withdraw from this summer's Euros due to mental and physical fatigue, following a demanding season with Chelsea. The 31-year-old cited burnout as the reason for her unavailability, joining the retirements of goalkeeper Mary Earps and midfielder Fran Kirby. Bright, with 88 caps for England, expressed her pride in representing her country and the difficulty of stepping back but emphasized the importance of prioritizing her health and the team's success for the upcoming tournament.
