THE FUSE

Asked about the news on Monday, speaking in her press conference ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine, Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman added her own words of congratulations for Kearns. "Of course, I'm happy for her. It's great news," she said. "Of course, we said she's not available for this camp, so now that's clear [why]. I'm very happy for her, for them. I think she's doing well. Of course, I haven't seen her lately but I've spoken to her. I hope all things go well. It's another amazing period for her coming up."
