  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Before England play their upcoming Euro 2025 qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Sweden, Williamson and Co. were put through their paces with a rondo – a training exercise where players try to keep possession against a smaller number of defenders.

  Arsenal star Williamson is back playing football at the highest level after a serious ACL injury in 2023. The 27-year-old missed England's run to the World Cup final last year as a result but now she will hope to lead them to Euro 2025, where they will try and defend their title.
