Millie Bright, a defender for England and Chelsea, has publicly announced her decision to withdraw from consideration for the upcoming European Championships. In her Instagram post, she emphasized the difficulty of her choice and the need to prioritize her mental and physical well-being over personal pride. Bright expressed that representing her country is a profound honor, but she feels unable to contribute fully at this time, recognizing that the team and fans deserve her best efforts.
This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025.
Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour. My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more.
Right now I'm not able to give 100% mentally or physically.
