Leah Williamson expressed her support for Mary Earps following the goalkeeper's announcement of her retirement from international football just weeks before Euro 2025. Williamson acknowledged the difficulty of Earps' decision, emphasizing her human aspect and friendship. While the move faced criticism, Williamson reaffirmed a commitment to support Earps. Manager Sarina Wiegman shared her disappointment, noting the shock among players at Earps' decision, who had a successful career with 53 appearances and won significant titles, including the Euros and the World Cup final.
I think to arrive at that decision must be one of the hardest things in your career. She is a human first and I hope Mary is OK.
But for her, she thinks this is the best thing, and I'll support her in that always.
I wanted her in my team and the news came as a shock to the players.
That must have been a really hard decision for her and so it is for us.
