England and Barcelona defender Lucy Bronze has been dealt a significant blow after suffering a fractured tibia, raising concerns over her participation in the upcoming Euro 2025 qualifiers.
The 32-year-old right-back, a key figure for both club and country, sustained the injury during a recent training session. While the exact timeline for her recovery remains unclear, the setback could sideline her for several weeks, potentially disrupting England's preparations for the tournament.
Bronze, a two-time Champions League winner with Lyon and a pivotal player in England's Euro 2022 triumph, has been a cornerstone of the Lionesses' defence. Her absence would leave a considerable void in manager Sarina Wiegman's squad.
"Lucy is one of our most experienced players, and her leadership on the pitch is invaluable," a team spokesperson said. "We're working closely with her medical team to ensure she receives the best possible care."
Fans and pundits alike will be anxiously awaiting updates on Bronze's condition, as England aim to secure their place in Euro 2025 with a strong qualifying campaign.
