LESS than six weeks after lifting the Uefa Women’s Euro trophy for England, Arsenal’s Leah Williamson admits she still cannot get this summer out of her mind.

“No, not yet,” she tells me. “I’m dreading the day that I don’t think about it at least once. I’m a big softie, I like fairytale endings. It was very fitting for that tournament on home soil, at Wembley Stadium. You couldn’t really have written that much better.”

This evening, the England captain will return to club action as Arsenal kick-off the Women’s Super League season six days later than planned following the death of Queen Elizabeth II last week.
