Overview
- The BBC reports that Sarina Wiegman will soon announce a squad for friendlies against China and Ghana, a moment expected to bring renewed questions about Mary Earps’ published claims.
- England goalkeeper Khiara Keating called for unity and said the keepers would resolve matters, while several Lionesses have sought to avoid media attention and Hannah Hampton is focusing on Chelsea’s WSL match against Arsenal.
- Ellen White said the memoir made her feel “uneasy,” arguing the disclosures breached an unwritten dressing-room code that private team matters should stay inside the group.
- Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor defended Hampton as “class” and said Earps’ comments showed a lack of respect, as Millie Bright and Rachel Daly declined to discuss the row on their podcast.
- Earps said extracts were distorted, insisted she did not write the book to tear anyone down, and messaged Hampton to say there was “no bad blood,” even as pundits debated the timing and wisdom of publishing while still active.
