English right-back Lucy Bronze played the entire European Championship with a fracture on her shinbone, she reveals after the European Championship gold.
Very painful. And then I hurt my knee in my other leg. That's why I got a lot of praise from the other girls after the Sweden match (quarterfinal), because I was in a lot of pain, she says to BBC One.
But if that's what it takes to play for England, then that's what I do.
England defeated Spain in the European Championship final in Basel 3–1 after penalties. Bronze was substituted at halftime.
