Grace Clinton has emerged as a standout talent for the Lionesses, showcasing her potential as a generational midfielder that England can rely on for the next four major tournaments. In a recent match against a team ranked 50th in the world, which had suffered a 5-0 defeat to Denmark just days prior, Clinton's performance was a bright spot. At just 21 years old and only her fourth cap for the national team, Clinton demonstrated remarkable skill and composure every time she touched the ball. Her presence on the field highlighted why she should be considered a key player moving forward. As England seeks to rejuvenate its squad with youthful creativity, Clinton's timing couldn't be better. She has already made an impact in the Women’s Super League, scoring three goals in four games this season, and she added to her tally with a well-executed header in Coventry. With her talent and potential, Grace Clinton is poised to become a cornerstone of the England team for years to come.

Jess Carter believes that England's recent 4-3 defeat to Germany came at an opportune moment, providing a chance to address the team's weaknesses ahead of next summer's European Championship. The Lionesses, who will be defending the title they won on home soil in 2022, experienced a disorganized performance, conceding three goals in the first half of the match. Instead of panicking after the loss, Carter and her teammates are focused on using the experience as a valuable learning opportunity. Georgia Stanway echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that while setbacks are part of the process, the team views this as a step forward in their preparation for the upcoming tournament in Switzerland.
