Euro 2025 injuries have already had influences on games with the tournament in its group stage.
The competition kicked off on July 2 with England heading in as defending champions – and it's the first time since 1970 that a senior England team have gone into a major tournament as defending champions.
But which Lionesses players have been ruled out through injury? And what other notable absences are there? Find out more below.

Euro 2025 injuries: England's absentees in full

The tournament is being held in Switzerland and will finish with the final on 27 July.
England are among the favourites to win the trophy but Spain have a slight edge after an impressive few years.
Spain won the World Cup in 2023 and they have some of the best players in the world in their ranks.
Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas, who have both won two Ballon d'Or awards each, are among the stars available to Spain.
The other nations who are among the favourites are France and the Netherlands.
Injuries will undoubtedly play a part and have already impacted some games.

Lena Oberdorf ruptured her ACL and MCL just before the Olympics, ruling her out of the tournament where Germany won the bronze medal.
She returned to on-grass running in her rehab with club Bayern Munich but she did not play a match last season. While she was included in a German Nations League squad, Oberdorf was not selected for this summer's tournament because of the injury.
Germany have also been hit with an injury during the tournament. Captain Giulia Gwinn came off with an injury during the team's opener against Poland, sustaining the issue after an excellent bit of defending.
After the game it was confirmed she would be ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury.
Elsewhere there have not been other any tournament-ending injuries yet.
