England's all-time leading goalscorer Ellen White will be going to her third Euros in a row.

"It was a hard decision. She's just not ready to compete. It was just a matter of time and we don't have that time," said England Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman.

Northern Ireland will name their final squad for the women's Euros on 27 June.
