The Lionesses secured their place at next year's Euros with a nervy goalless draw with Sweden on Tuesday night. Earps was on the bench with Chelsea's Hannah Hampton preferred in between the sticks but she did not let that disappointment get to her as the new Paris Saint-Germain recruit threw a pair of goalkeeper gloves into the crowd, much to one supporter's delight.

Ahead of the 2025 Euros in Switzerland, the battle for the number one jersey is hotting up. Earps has made that position her own for England in recent years but the rise of Hampton may put that in jeopardy. All eyes will be on how both shot-stoppers fare in the upcoming season. Either way, the Lionesses can look forward to defending their Euros title in just under a year's time.

Both Hampton and Earps will head off on their summer breaks before preparing for the new season, which gets underway in September in both the Women's Super League and Division 1 Feminine – where the latter will now be plying her trade.
