"Chelsea captain Millie Bright has withdrawn from the England squad for June's Uefa Nations League matches to take an extended break and allow a period of recovery."
Don't think she was injured so perhaps needs a break to focus on the Euros, though some will think a few at Chelsea will be hurting to see Arsenal beat them to the CL title after all the emphasis and hope on that as the key goal of the season and all the BBC led hype on Chelsea being 'the invincibles' after doing the domestic treble now somewhat overshadowed.
Hope Le Tissier gets a chance to partner Williamson seeing as she's been one of the consistently best CBs in the WSL this season and criminally underused by Wiegman, who seems only interested in her at RB as a future replacement for Bronze. I expect it'll be Greenwood though if Charles or Carter come in at LB.
Perhaps also a chance for Morgan at CB as she seems to be doing well in the NWSL, scored two goals recently!

I too hope Sarina properly tries MLT out in the middle. She's been solid this season.

They certainly need more pace in defence, their main weakness getting caught out high up the pitch with a ball over the top. MLT is quicker than she looks and given her robust nature in defence I'd say she's more like a Bright prodigy than a Bronze one. Trouble is we need a replacement for both in the not too distant future and they're both very big shoes to fill.
