Her squad are preparing to face Italy in an Euro semi-final match that’s already being billed as one of the biggest women’s matches ever played. Their captain, who had been injured in the quarter-final game versus Sweden, put her immediate availability in question for their potentially season-defining game just days away.
Williamson’s absence was most felt in the dazzling knockout stage match against Sweden. Underlying all this is a serious question about her readiness to contest the semis just three days from now. Recent looks in practice have fans and players on the Pistons’ roster feeling optimistic. Williamson was fully involved in drills today and even tested her jump stop. This would seem to indicate she might be prepared to rejoin her teammates for the crucial knockout round match with Italy.
The England players will be training hard in the build-up to this important fixture. We can hardly believe it will be happening in just a few days! Williamson’s leadership will be integral for the young squad. Along with his experience, they will do everything possible to make sure they are in position to make the final. She inspires her fellow players with fiery passion and discernment through this difficult stage. Her leadership will certainly make them all the better on the pitch.
As the semi-final draws nearer, the excitement among fans only grows. England’s run to the final has been nothing short of remarkable. Having their captain back on the field would be a huge boost and has already sent expectations soaring.
