Lauren James required treatment on the pitch during the latter stages of England's Euro 2025 quarter-final against Sweden
England forward Lauren James says fans were "too quick to judge" during her struggles at Euro 2025.
In an interview with BBC Sport, the 23-year-old said injury problems and criticism during the tournament affected how much she was able to enjoy the Lionesses' historic triumph in Switzerland.
And with a fear of suffering racist abuse, James was also relieved to see other England players miss penalties in the quarter-final tie against Sweden after her own spot-kick was saved.
"A lot of the time fans don't know what is going on, they only know what is in front of them," she said.
