Mary Earps urged her Lionesses teammates to avenge the home defeat against France after being ruled out of the key Euro 2025 qualifier through injury.
The Manchester United goalkeeper could not travel to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium in Saint-Etienne after picking up a hip injury just 30 seconds into an earlier Euro 2024 qualifier against Les Bleus.
However, she would have been jubilant since her teammates did the job away from home and eked out a 2-1 victory thanks to two first-half goals from Georgia Stanway and Alessia Russo.
Earps, who was visibly in pain, strived to continue even but had to be eventually subbed off by Sarina Wiegman.
Subsequently, she could not make it to the England squad due to the injury but cheered on from the comforts of her home as Wiegman’s troops fought against the French.
Before the match kicked off, Earps took to her Instagram story and uploaded a picture where she was seen following the live action on television and wrote: “Let’s go girls! 💪 @lionesses”.

However, Wiegman had revealed that it is a minor injury and the Earps should be back in the squad ahead of the next national team camp in July.
She will hope to return to full fitness and reclaim her position as the No.1 on July 12 against the Republic of Ireland in another Euro 2025 qualifier.
