BURTON UPON TRENT, England (Reuters) - Goalkeeper Mary Earps will captain England for their must-win Nations League match against the Netherlands in the absence of Millie Bright, manager Sarina Wiegman said on Thursday.
Bright, who was appointed captain after Leah Williamson suffered an ACL injury and then led the Lionesses to a runners-up finish at this year's Women's World Cup, pulled out of the squad due to a knee injury and will remain with Chelsea for treatment.
