The star of England, Lauren James, forced himself while Caldentey gives an advance in Spain
Lauren James was forced at the end of the first half of the final of Euro 2025, the star of England withdrawn after Mariona Caldentey gave the world champions in Spain an advance of 1-0 in Basel.
Caldentey led Spain in mind in the 25th minute, with reigning European champions, England punished for not having taken golden risks in the first stadiums.
And things got worse for the lionesses 15 minutes later while the Chelsea striker James drink.
James had been a doubt for the final due to an ankle injury, and his game ended prematurely after she went to the ground in the discomfort inside the penalty of England.
Chloe Kelly replaced James, hoping to have the same impact as in the final of Euro 2022, when she marked the winner of the extension against Germany.
Kelly, who alongside the teenager Michelle Agyemang played a decisive role off the bench of England in this tournament, quickly provided energy on the left side, leading to a largely short-time effort when the lionesses sought to produce another fight after having come behind to eliminate Sweden and Italy on the final.
