England's team prepares for the Euro 2025 semi-final against Italy amidst the racial abuse suffered by Jess Carter. Players are rallying around her while maintaining focus on defending their European title. Key decisions for coach Wiegman include whether Carter will start, with defensive issues having plagued England throughout the tournament. Various players have switched positions to address these problems. Concerns also arose regarding captain Leah Williamson's ankle injury, but she has returned to full training and is eager to play.
"Although it's a hard situation, Jess is a very strong person and wants to move on. She also felt we had to address this. You can't just let it go."
"We know there's a match going on and we're ready to perform - she's ready to perform and to compete. That says a lot about her and the team."
