Bronze admits to playing with a fractured leg throughout Euros
England defender Lucy Bronze's middle name is Tough, which perfectly encapsulates her Euro 2025 performances.
After the Lionesses beat Spain in a penalty shootout to defend their European title, the Chelsea full-back told BBC Sport she had played the entire tournament with a fractured leg.
"I actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, but no-one knew," said Bronze.
At 33 years, eight months and 30 days, she was England's oldest player at Euro 2025 and played 598 minutes throughout the tournament, with only Keira Walsh, Alex Greenwood and Hannah Hampton playing more for Sarina Wiegman's side.
