England stalwart Lucy Bronze has thrown her significant weight behind a potential UEFA boycott of FIFA competitions, insisting that drastic action is necessary to safeguard the long-term integrity of the sport. The Chelsea defender believes that standing by collective principles outweighs the immediate participation in major international tournaments.

As a young girl, Nelly Las would watch Lucy Bronze and aspire to be just like her. When she enjoyed her breakthrough season at Leicester City, aged just 16, she shared a pitch with the Lionesses icon as the Foxes’ stunned the Blues in a 1-1 draw. Now, the player she idolised and held as a reference point will be her team-mate, after Las became Chelsea’s fourth summer signing.

Lionesses goalkeeper Khiara Keating has joined Liverpool after rejecting a new contract at Manchester City. The England international found game time hard to come by last year, leading to her being left out of some of Sarina Wiegman's squads. With the Women's World Cup less than a year away, she has now chosen to move on from the club she joined aged 11 to sign for the Reds.

It’s fair to say that Keira Barry’s first senior England call-up was unexpected. After injuries plagued the early years of her professional career, it was in February that the young forward ended her 10-year association with Manchester United and moved to the United States to sign for Bay FC. Exactly a month after her debut, she was on the bench as the Lionesses beat Spain 1-0 at Wembley Stadium.
