Jess Carter has revealed how the England Lionesses are gearing up for Euro 2025, with the defender playing a pivotal role in Sarina Wiegman's squad. The 26-year-old, who has become a mainstay in the team, opened up about her journey, both on and off the pitch.
Building Momentum for Euro 2025
Carter emphasised the importance of maintaining momentum after their historic Euro 2022 triumph. "We know what it takes to win, but we can't rest on past success," she said. "Every tournament is a new challenge, and we're working harder than ever."
From Squad Player to Key Defender
Once a fringe player, Carter has now cemented her place in Wiegman's starting XI. Her versatility across the backline has been crucial, with the Chelsea star admitting: "I've had to adapt, but I thrive under pressure. Every training session is a chance to prove myself."
Overcoming Personal Challenges
The defender also spoke candidly about overcoming self-doubt early in her career. "There were times I questioned whether I belonged at this level," Carter revealed. "But the support from my teammates and coaches helped me grow both as a player and person."
With England's Euro 2025 qualifying campaign underway, Carter's experience and leadership will be vital as the Lionesses aim to defend their European crown.
