'I can't, I'm sorry' - Alisha Lehmann refuses fan request for her Swiss national team jersey after bringing up 50th cap in 4-0 rout of Azerbaijan

The Aston Villa star featured in her side's comfortable victory in a Euro 2025 qualifier on Tuesday night, while bringing up her half century milestone in the process. The 25-year-old was spotted taking photos with fans on the day but one request was courteously turned down.

In the Instagram story, Lehmann is offered a fan's phone to take a selfie of them all, which she did. But after another request came her way for her jersey, she replied: "I can't, I'm sorry."

The Aston Villa star then posed for another photo with a supporter.

The result ended a fruitful double-header for the Swiss in their Euro 2025 qualifiers, after wins over Turkey and Azerbaijan. Lehmann's Switzerland are guaranteed a place at next year's tournament as they are hosts but getting victories like these are good for the team's confidence.

Lehmann will next feature for her country in their next Euro 2025 qualifier against Hungary on May 31, but has club duty to attend to before then. She will return to play for Aston Villa in the Women's Super League on April 17.
