- England manager Sarina Wiegman hopes Mary Earps receives a deserved send-off before the World Cup qualifier against Spain at Wembley.

- Her autobiography, All In, published last November, caused controversy due to comments criticising Hannah Hampton's inclusion in the Lionesses squad.

- Wiegman has put the incident behind her, emphasising Earps' inspirational role and hoping for a celebratory reception for the former world's best goalkeeper.
