Forward Lauren Hemp insists England know what is at stake when they play the Netherlands on Wednesday as they bid to keep their European title defence alive. The Lionesses’ backs are against the wall after suffering an tournament-opening 2-1 defeat to France to set up what is already being billed as a “must-win” meeting with 2017 champions the Netherlands.

Lauren Hemp said the lack of match time for several England players is no excuse for their poor start to Euro 2025 after defeat against France on Saturday.
