Lionesses star Keira Walsh has called for more protection against online abuse after her England teammate Jess Carter was the target of racist vitriol on social media at Euro 2025.

Carter announced she would be stepping away from the platforms for the remainder of the tournament ahead of England's dramatic 2-1 semifinal comeback against Italy to set up Sunday’s final showdown with Spain.
Walsh came off social media after the 2019 World Cup, when reading negative comments contributed to the midfielder genuinely entertaining the thought of quitting football.
