Leah Williamson says her ankle feels ‘great' ahead of Euros final: ‘We would play through absolutely anything'

Leah Williamson has quashed any concerns regarding her fitness ahead of the European Championship final against Spain on Sunday, saying her ankle is 'great'. The England captain was forced off at half-time of extra-time during the quarter-final penalty shootout win against Sweden after landing awkwardly on her ankle. However, she played 85 minutes in the semi-final victory over Italy and trained on Saturday with all 23 players participating in the session ahead of the final in Basel. 'My ankle is great,' she said ahead of the final. 'My mum actually rolled her ankle a couple of days ago, so she's taken all the attention away from me now. 'I had a scare. Obviously I want to be involved and available to help the team in any way they need me. I played the semi-final and am ready to go tomorrow. 'I can speak for every single member of the squad when I say, as long as we get the green light, we would play through absolutely anything to be involved at this stage.' England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was 'very happy' with Williamson's fitness. 'Leah has a big role in the team, so it's really nice to have her on the pitch,' she said. Wiegman also confirmed that all 23 players of her squad came through training on Saturday, including Lauren James. The 23-year-old forward was substituted at half-time against Italy and was seen with ice around her right ankle during the second half. England face Spain on Sunday in what is a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final. Spain captain Irene Paredes described England as 'one of the best teams in the world' on Saturday. 'They deserve to be in the final, just like us,' said the 34-year-old. 'They have players who we even share a dressing room with and know well. They have made us suffer and we have made them suffer. It will be a hard-fought match. 'We have a team that has played important matches and tournaments. Each of us knows how to manage the tension and emotions that sometimes come to the surface. We are a team and we don't see it as a pressure match, we see it as an opportunity to make history, to continue enjoying ourselves and to make people enjoy themselves.'

England ready to meet challenge of 'fantastic' Spain in Euro 2025 final

England captain Leah Williamson admits that Spain are "the best at what they do" but is confident her side can compete with the reigning world champions in Sunday's Euro 2025 final. "Tomorrow we play a game against the world champions who continue to prove themselves over and over in the way that they play football," Williamson told reporters at Basel's St Jakob-Park on the eve of the game. "They are a fantastic footballing team, they are the best at what they do, and we are very much aware of that but we think we are pretty good in some areas as well. "We need to be at our best to beat Spain but I think they will need to be at their best to beat us too. "I think there is a lot of respect between the two teams, and I'd be hesitant to say we are underdogs in this scenario." England are hoping to retain the European Championship title they won on home soil in 2022, but the match is also a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final, in which Spain triumphed 1-0 in Sydney. There is a growing rivalry between the nations, with England winning in extra time when they clashed in the quarter-finals at Euro 2022. The sides have also already faced each other twice this year in the UEFA Nations League, with England winning 1-0 at Wembley in February. Spain avenged that result by claiming a 2-1 victory in Barcelona at the beginning of last month, when Claudia Pina scored twice after Alessia Russo had given England the lead. "We have played each other a lot over the last couple of years and I think you always have learnings from the games we have played," said England coach Sarina Wiegman. "Tomorrow is a new situation where we have an opportunity to hopefully take out their strengths a bit and exploit some of their weaknesses too." England have been sweating on the fitness of Lauren James for the final after she came off with an ankle injury during the last-four win over Italy, but Wiegman indicated that the winger is in line to feature on Sunday. "We had 23 players on the pitch today and everyone came through," said the Dutch coach. Chloe Kelly and young striker Michelle Agyemang are pushing for starts after making impacts off the bench in the comeback wins against both Sweden and Italy in the last two rounds. Williamson, though, believes James has a lot to offer. "We have a team of talented players. Lauren brings something slightly different, obviously having her available is the best-case scenario," said the Arsenal centre-back. as/mw
