England's super-sub Michelle Agyemang had her piano shipped out to Switzerland to help her relax in between Euro 2025 matches.
Agyemang, 19, said she had played for her teammates and was really glad to have had the instrument during the competition. She said: 'I've been having a great time on that. The kitman brought it over in a van. It's calm and relaxing.
'Lotte [Wubben-Moy] asked me to play for her. She came to my room and I played a few things for her, which was nice.'
The football star, who was named Uefa's young player of the tournament, plays piano, bass guitar and drums and is a fan of gospel music. She told The Mirror: 'I have my piano in my room so I'm spending a lot of time in there just playing and chilling.'
She added: 'I don't think that there's a day that I go without playing it because it's right in front of me. Especially on game days I probably spend about two hours just playing and enjoying myself.'
Like several other members of the team, Agyemang builds Lego models to decompress. She said: 'I was building a really tiny stadium the other day because I was bored and suddenly Lucy [Bronze] was like, 'we can make this so much better'. I didn't know she has really good skills when it comes to Lego.'

Agyemang and Bronze made a replica of the stadium before their match and Bronze suggested making it a pre-match tradition — one that teammate Lauren Hemp is sure to enjoy.
Hemp is a well-known Lego fan, and was even photographed carrying a Lego model of Disney's Beauty and the Beast castle out of the team hotel on Monday morning. She previously said she had to decide carefully which Lego sets to bring with her to tournaments.
Chloe Kelly revealed over the weekend that Esme Morgan had been opening her 'beauty salon' for the team, to give them lash lifts. 'She's doing a great job,' she said. 'And it's free!'
