Switzerland boss comes up with shock plan for Juventus star Alisha Lehmann at Euro 2025

Lehmann made the cut for this summer's European Championship despite being left out of recent national team call-ups. The Juventus star has said she "couldn't be more happy" and will be hoping to add to her tally of 60 international caps at the tournament which starts next month.

Lehmann heads into Euro 2025 after a season where she won the double with Juventus but was not a regular in the side. The Swiss usually plays on the right of the attack but could be handed a shock role for the national team, according to her manager.

She told reporters: "We put her on as a full-back, and she convinced us. She impressed us; she wants to help the team. That's why she's here."

Sundhage also responded to rumours there has been unrest in the camp about the intensity of the training sessions. She added: "It's not a nice rumor, but it's a rumor nonetheless. There are reasons why we have a team of fitness coaches and psychologists. We talk every day, and I think we're doing a good job so far."

The Euro 2025 hosts play their first game of the tournament on July 2 against Norway.
