England's record goalscorer Ellen White has revealed she suffered a punctured lung last year, a "traumatic" injury which accelerated her retirement.

White, who scored 52 times in 113 appearances for the Lionesses, helped England win Euro 2022 and said she knew heading into the tournament that she was going to call it a day.
