England Women’s football squad has donated to an initiative set up by Premier League players to support the NHS and other frontline staff during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Lionesses made the announcement to donate to the fund – #PlayersTogether – on their personal social media accounts, led off by captain Steph Houghton.
The statement said: “After discussions with a number of Premier League players, we are delighted to confirm that the whole of the Lionesses squad will make a collective donation to the #PlayersTogether fund.”
