Overview
- The FA proposed staging a farewell before England’s November 29 friendly against China at Wembley, which Earps declined due to a scheduling conflict.
- The governing body previously pledged a “full tribute” to recognise her 53-cap, Euro-winning international career.
- Talks between Earps’ representatives and the FA remain ongoing and are expected to pick up following the qualification draw.
- Earps’ forthcoming autobiography, All In, due next week, is reported to offer more detail on her retirement and decisions around any public tribute.
- Since Earps’ pre-tournament retirement, Hannah Hampton has started every match of England’s successful European Championship defence and has been awarded the Yashin Trophy.
