England defender Millie Bright has withdrawn from the national squad due to reaching her mental and physical limits. The Football Association confirmed that she would be taking an extended recovery period, with player Lotte Wubben-Moy replacing her. Bright, who has been instrumental at Chelsea with 36 appearances this season, emphasized the importance of prioritizing mental health. She articulated that while difficult, self-care is essential for overall well-being, especially before critical upcoming matches in the Women's Nations League and the upcoming Euros.
"I think, mentally and physically, I'm at my limits, which is why I'm not at camp."
"That is a really hard decision, but I think you know better than anyone as well - sometimes you just have to take that time for yourself."
