She went off in final with knee injury but plans to party
Lucy Bronze revealed after England’s Euro 2025 final victory over Spain that she had played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia.
The right-back, who went off during half-time of extra time of the final because of an injury to her right knee, said she had played all six matches with a fractured tibia in her left leg and described it as “very painful”.
Bronze grabbed attention during the quarter-final win against Sweden for strapping her own thigh deep into extra time before taking off the strapping and scoring a powerful penalty in the shootout.
