ENGLAND manager Sarina Wiegman has named her 23-player squad for Euro 2025 as the Lionesses prepare to defend their title.

Three years on from their first-ever European Championship triumph, the Lionesses head to Switzerland next month as one of the favourites.

But they will be missing three key players who contributed to that incredible Wembley success.

Millie Bright, who captained the squad at the 2023 World Cup, made herself unavailable for selection earlier this week due to burnout.

Fran Kirby announced her retirement from international football on Tuesday after learning that she would not be travelling to Switzerland.

And goalkeeper Mary Earps hung up her gloves last month in a huge shock to both Wiegman and her team-mates.

Despite the absences, England approach the European Championship next month with a strong squad.

Leah Williamson will captain the Lionesses for the second time at a major tournament.

She will be joined by defenders Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood, Maya Le Tissier, Esme Morgan, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles and Lotte Wubben-Moy.

Following the departure of Earps last month, Hannah Hampton will be England’s No1 this summer.

Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse will be on hand in case the Chelsea ace gets injured.

Georgia Stanway returned to the England squad last week following a five-month period on the sidelines with a knee injury.

She is among the list of midfielders included, alongside the likes of Keira Walsh, Ella Toone, Grace Clinton and Jess Park.

And in attack, Wiegman has picked Alessia Russo, Aggie Beever-Jones, Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead, Chloe Kelly and 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang.

Despite being sidelined with a hamstring injury, Lauren James has also earned a call-up for the tournament.

Out of the 23-player squad, 13 were part of the Lionesses’ Euro 2022-winning squad at Wembley.

Meanwhile, seven players will be appearing at their first major tournament.

THE thrills and spills of the summer transfer window are finally here – with some huge deals already in the pipeline.

Manchester City have agreed a sensational deal with Wolves for Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are preparing to pay the full £126m asking price to capture Florian Wirtz as soon as possible.

And it has been reported that the Reds have told Barcelona that Luiz Diaz is not for sale but Al-Nassr are prepared to bid around £71m to test Liverpool’s resolve.

ROBBIE KEANE has emerged as an early contender for the vacant manager’s job at Middlesbrough.

The Championship side brutally sacked ex-Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick on Wednesday.

Robbie Keane is a contender to replace Michael Carrick as Middlesbrough manager[/caption]

Keane knows Boro well after spending two years as assistant manager to Jonathan Woodgate between 2018 and 2020.

Despite his role as a No 2 after hanging up his playing boots, Keane has never managed in England.

Keane, 44, impressed owner Steve Gibson during his short stint at the Riverside Stadium six years ago.

The Republic of Ireland and Tottenham legend is coming off a title-winning season with Hungarian side Ferencvaros.

The season before he also lifted a title, taking the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he won the double.

That was Keane’s second job as a head coach, having started out at Indian side ATK upon his retirement in 2018.

From there, he went on to learn his trade as an assistant with Ireland, Leeds, and crucially Boro.

Former Championship-winning Nottingham Forest gaffer Steve Cooper, out of work since he was sacked after 12 games at Leicester, is also on the shortlist to replace Carrick.

Carrick and his assistants Woodgate and Graeme Carrick – his younger brother – have also departed the club.

The 43-year-old, who was the division’s longest-serving manager, led Boro from the 21st in the table in October 2022 to the play-offs.

That was followed by an eighth-placed finish and a run to the League Cup semi-finals but, despite a positive first half of this season, they eventually ended a disappointing 10th.

Keane was a Premier League great with Spurs, scoring 126 goals in 349 appearances, also playing for Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Leeds and Coventry.

Rob Edwards and Jon Dahl Tomasson and Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl, who has a hefty release clause, are also options.

Middlesbrough have spent 15 of the last 16 seasons in the Championship.

YOUR fingernails aren’t just a place to paint nail varnish on – they could provide a window into your health.

A subtle but common sign could suggest you have a dangerous form of heart disease, which may cause no other noticeable symptoms but could leave you at risk of sudden death if left untreated.

A subtle sign on your nail could be a sign of heart valve disease[/caption]

A red pulsation in your nail bed when you press you fingernail down is called Quincke’s sign[/caption]

Press down on your nail: can you see a a red, pulsing movement in the nail bed?

This is known as the Quincke’s sign – and it could be caused by aortic regurgitation.

Joanne Whitmore, lead nurse at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), explained to Sun Health: “Quincke’s sign in the nail bed can be a sign of severe aortic valve insufficiency, as well as other heart conditions.”

Normally, your blood flows around your heart and the rest of your body in one direction. The BHF compares it to a “one way traffic” system.

Your heart valves are like traffic controllers, as they control the direction of your blood flow and stop it from flowing backwards. The tiny flaps of skin open and close like doors with every heartbeat.

You have four of them – called pulmonary, tricuspid, mitral and aortic valves.

The aortic valve controls the flow of blood out from the heart to the rest of the body.

Joanne said: “Aortic regurgitation means the aortic valve does not close fully and the blood can leak back into the heart instead of forwards into the body.

“These problems can put extra strain on your heart and make your heart work harder.”

The Quincke’s sign is a “bad sign”, according to emergency response doctor Dr Joe, who warned of the phenomenon to his 800K+ Instagram followers.

In a video that showed exactly what the pulsation looked like, Dr Joe said aortic regurgitation can cause “a whole host of problems”, including chest pain, fatigue and sudden cardiac death.

“It’s one of the clues doctors use to help diagnose this heart issue,” he said.

Another is what’s known as Corrigan pulse – an excessive and visible pulsation in the neck.

The 6 other symptoms of heart valve disease

Recent research by the University of East Anglia found that one in four supposedly “healthy” adults over the age of 60 may have heart valve disease.

Researchers carried out heart scans on almost 4,500 people aged over 60, who where outwardly healthy and had no symptoms.

Over a quarter – 28 per cent – were found to have previously undetected heart valve disease.

“Some people with heart valve disease have no symptoms,” according to Joanne.

But others may experience:

1. Breathlessness
2. Chest pain
3. Weakness or dizziness
4. Unusual tiredness
5. Swollen ankles and feet
6. A fluttering or pounding feeling in the chest or neck (known as palpitations)

There are a few causes of heart valve disease – when one or more of your valves don’t work – including:

• Being born with an abnormal valve
• Having rheumatic fever – a rare complication that can develop after a bacterial throat infection, causing painful joints and heart problems
• Having heart muscle disease – called cardiomyopathy
• Your heart muscle being damaged from a heart attack
• Getting older
• A heart infection – called endocarditis

Over time, it can increase your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.

Another form of the condition is when valves get narrower and don’t open fully, blocking or restricting the flow of blood.

The disease can range from mild to moderate and severe.

Those with a mild form will often have no symptoms and might not need treatment – though checkups every few years are advised.

But Joanne said: “If your heart valve disease is moderate or severe you will usually need treatment, involving medicines and/or surgery.

“It can feel scary to be diagnosed with severe heart valve disease. Talk to your doctor about what this means for you and your treatment options.”

ARSENAL have added around £6.5m to their summer transfer kitty after Nuno Tavares completed a switch to Lazio.

The Portuguese full-back spent last season on loan at the Italian club – having also been loaned out by the Gunners to Marseille and Nottingham Forest over the past two seasons.

Boss Mikel Arteta was left unimpressed by the 25-year-old after making 22 Prem appearances in his debut 2021/22 campaign following an £8m move from Benfica.

SunSport understands that within his Lazio loan deal, there was an obligation to buy should they not be relegated from Serie A.

The Italian side ended up finishing seventh this term.

With Lazio considering selling Tavares straight on this summer for an immediate profit – despite signing him up on a three-year deal – Arsenal would also benefit with a sell-on of up to 25 per cent.

Tavares is Arsenal’s first sale of the summer, expected to be one of many with defenders Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard linked with moves away.

Kiwior is being looked at by several clubs in Italy, Zinchenko is being monitored by Borussia Dortmund and Trossard has admirers in Saudi Arabia.

Both Jorginho and Kieran Tierney are leaving on free transfers, while Raheem Sterling and Neto are returning to their parent clubs after season-long loans.

Arsenal are making room for several incomings in what Arteta has described as a “big summer”, which could see them splash £200m.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi is on the brink of having his £51m move from Real Sociedad confirmed, with Thomas Partey also close to signing a new deal with his contract expiring this month.

A No.9 is at the top of new sporting director Andrea Berta’s list, targeting £60m-valued Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres and £69m-valued Red Bull Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.

Other areas are also in need of bolstering.

Arsenal want a new No.2 to challenge David Raya.

Espanyol’s £25m-valued Joan Garcia is of interest, but would need to compete with Barcelona for his signature.

A defender could also be needed, but Arteta is currently happy with his options in Zinchenko, Kiwior, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, Ben White, William Saliba and Gabriel.

Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams – worth around £50m – remains highly-rated by Arteta.

But his sky-high wages are proving an issue with Arsenal unwilling to break their current financial structure.

LOOSE Women has been pulled from screens tomorrow in a last-minute schedule shake-up.

The popular lunchtime panel show won’t air at all tomorrow – a move set to cause misery among fans of the show.

The show has been ditched in favour of the horse racing[/caption]

The live show has been ditched in favour of coverage of the horse racing.

Live coverage of The Oaks race will dominate ITV‘s afternoon schedule causing the TV chaos.

Loose Women usually broadcasts for one hour between 12:30pm and 1:30pm each weekday.

However, tomorrow, the ITV Lunchtime News will be brought forward by an hour for a shortened edition to kick off at 12:30pm.

It will be followed by a local news bulletin before coverage of the racing begins at 1pm.

The sporting event will continue until 5pm – forcing quiz show Tipping Point off air too.

The Chase will then air at 5pm as usual.

Ed Chamberlin and Francesca Cumani will present live coverage of the first day of the Derby meeting from Epsom Racecourse.

The ladies confirmed the news that the show won’t air in its usual timeslot at the end of today’s broadcast.

It will return as usual on Monday afternoon with guests throughout the week including Cheshire Housewife Tanya Bardsley, Si King and This Morning host Alison Hammond.

It comes after the recent news that the show would be reduced from being a year-round broadcast from next year.

As part of cuts at ITV, the programme will face a series of behind-the-scenes changes as well as a third of the panellists being axed as a result of having 22 weeks less of episodes.

More than 220 jobs at ITV Daytime will be affected.

Speaking on her podcast How to be 60, lead anchor Kaye Adams said she felt as though ‘the rug had been pulled’ from underneath her.

Kaye, 62, confessed: “It did come out of the blue.

“I didn’t anticipate it, which is probably stupid in retrospect. You get into a sort of rhythm of life.

“I had a couple of sleepless nights I have to say, because it’s just like the rug’s been pulled from under your feet – what has been familiar.”

Under the changes, Loose Women will be slashed and will be on air for 30 instead of 52 weeks.

Lorraine Kelly’s morning show will also be cut to 30 weeks, and will reduce from an hour to 30 minutes.

Kaye, who is one of Loose Women’s main anchors, said: “It’s going to have an impact. Lots of people will lose their jobs completely which is terrible. It’s a huge change.

“But I gave myself a talking to and I listened to my own advice for once – change is hard, but it can be good.”
