  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Kelly and Earps were not involved in that game, with the opportunity taken to rest and rotate. The Manchester rivals, who ply their club trade at City and United respectively, will be hoping to figure prominently in upcoming fixtures.

  • WHAT KELLY SAID ABOUT EARPS

    For now, they are being freed to relax away from the pitch. That means posting regular updates on social media, but Kelly has pointed out that Earps will not be sharing anything outside of the team hotel as she is not paying roaming fees.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND?

    England will be back in action on Tuesday when taking in a meeting with Italy. They are readying themselves for the defence of a European Championship crown, with qualification for the 2025 event due to get underway in April.
