Given Euro 2025 kicks off in five weeks' time, this is news that has shocked the women's football world.

It is a decision that nobody saw coming and Wiegman's quotes suggest it even came as a surprise to her.

The England manager had been preparing to have Earps in the squad, but she has been in competition for the number one spot with Chelsea's Hampton this year and it looked like she had lost the battle.

That is surely the main reason for Earps' sudden decision, with Hampton getting the nod in goal in the past three England matches, including a crucial 1-0 win over Spain at Wembley in February.

She has been used to being the main woman under Wiegman - she was vice-captain at the Women's World Cup in 2023 - and started every match at England's past two major tournaments.

But this is a new era for the Lionesses now and Earps must have known her role was changing.

She will be missed, having contributed greatly with individual performances over the last three years in particular, but also for her contributions in growing the profile of the women's game in England.

From challenging Nike to produce shirts with her name on the back, to highlighting mental health at the Fifa Best Awards in her victory speech, Earps has gathered a huge following from supporters and is one of the most high-profile female footballers in the country.

Her impact cannot be understated.

It was heartbreak for Ella Morris yesterday after the 22-year-old ruptured her ACL in England training.

The Spurs defender had been called-up to the senior squad for the first time but will now require surgery and miss Euro 2025.

It is the second ACL injury Morris has sustained, after first doing so at the age of 17 when playing for Southampton.

"From the highest high to the lowest low," Morris posted on Instagram.

"Devastated doesn't even come close. So grateful for the incredible people around me. ACL round 2 - let's go."

Let's take a look at what Mary Earps had to say about her decision to retire from England duty.

"It has been the greatest honour and privilege of my life, to wear this badge and represent my country," Earps said on Instagram.

"I wish I could do it forever, but sadly all good things must come to an end.

"My journey has never been the simplest, so in true Mary fashion, this isn't a simple goodbye - right before a major tournament.

"Nonetheless, I know this is the right decision. There are so many dimensions to this decision, the details of which aren't important right now.

"This is a new era and a new England team, and I'm looking forward to watching them this summer.

"I know that while this won't make sense to some who are reading this, you can trust that I would not be doing this unless I thought it was absolutely the right thing to do, as much as it hurts.

"I have given everything, my heart and soul. I left it all out there on the pitch and did my best to help systemic change of it. I have no regrets."

I think everybody was a bit shocked. I don’t think we saw it coming. She feels like it is the right decision for her to make that choice now. Sometimes we can focus on when a decision has been made, we don’t know the full reasons behind it. Chloe Kelly said recently we might be athletes but we are also humans as well. She feels this decision was the right one. We have to applaud her career.

Without her England would never have won that Euros 100%. Sports Personality of the Year winner, golden glove winner, from everyone in the Lionesses and women’s football in general, we would just like to thank Mary Earps for her contribution to the Lionesses.

The England camp has been rocked this week by Mary Earps announcing her retirement from international football.

The 32-year-old played a significant role in the Lionesses winning Euro 2022 but had recently lost her starting place to Chelsea keeper Hannah Hampton.

Earps made 53 senior appearances over eight years for England, also winning the 2023 Women's Finalissima with her country before helping them reaching the final of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was "disappointed" by Earps' decision, having hoped she would play an "important role" this summer.

We'll hear Wiegman's thoughts on the matter soon.

I also should probably add that the reason we're here is because England host Portugal tomorrow night and they travel to Barcelona on Tuesday to take on world champions Spain in the Nations League.

But first of all, there's a huge topic for us to discuss and that is the shock retirement of Mary Earps.

What are your thoughts on it? Was she right to do it five weeks before a major tournament? What are your favourite memories of Earps in an England shirt?

Let us know using the contact details above.

Should probably add that Sarina Wiegman and Leah Williamson will be with us from 11:15 BST and we'll be streaming it live from the top of this page.

Stay tuned for that one!

Alongside the England manager will be skipper Leah Williamson as the Arsenal Champions League winner will be previewing the upcoming Nations League matches against Portugal and Spain.
