Chelsea defender Millie Bright has made herself unavailable for selection for England's European Championship squad this summer.
The 31-year-old won the domestic treble with Chelsea this season and had been expected to be named in Sarina Wiegman's squad for the tournament in Switzerland, which is due to be announced in one day.
Bright had been granted an 'extended period of recovery' when she was not named in the squad for England's Nations League games against Portugal and Spain.
Having previously been capped 88 times by her country, which included being a key part of the Euro 2022-winning squad and the team that reached the 2023 World Cup final, she is one of the most experienced Lionesses.
But she revealed that she is unable to give 100% "mentally or physically".
"This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025," she said in a statement.
"Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour. My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more. Right now, I’m not able to give 100% mentally or physically.
"As much as I want to be out there running through brick walls for England and fighting alongside my team-mates, stepping back is the right thing for my health, my future in the game and most importantly the team.
"It wouldn’t be fair for me to take the place and opportunity away from another player who is ready and able to give everything for the badge and country.
"I’ll be supporting the team with everything I’ve got, and hoping this incredible group of players will do the nation proud. Thank you to my teammates, coaches, and, most importantly, the fans for your unwavering support, it means the world to me."
