- إنجلترا يهزم إسبانيا in Euros final
- Bronze played tournament injured
- Battled through with fractured tibia
After England defended their Euros title in a dramatic final in بازل on Sunday, right-back Bronze revealed she played the entire tournament with a serious injury. The تشيلسي star, who also picked up a knee issue, admitted it has been “very painful” but powered through for Sarina Wiegman’s team.
She told BBC One: “I have actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, and then I have hurt my knee on my other leg. That’s why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the السويد game, as I’ve been in a lot of pain. If that’s what it takes to play for England, that’s what I’ll do. Very painful.”n
Bronze barely missed a minute of England’s title-winning run in سويسرا over the past few weeks and did it despite playing with an injury that would likely keep many players on the sidelines. But the 33-year-old showed her physical and mental toughness to put in a huge shift for her team as they won another Euros crown.
سابق برشلونة star Bronze, along with her Lionesses team-mates, will now enjoy a well-earned break before returning to domestic action in the coming weeks and months. It remains to be seen how long the veteran will be sidelined for.
