Ellie Roebuck says she is 'chomping at the bit' to start England's bid for Euro 2022 glory.
She's "proud" to call it her hometown, and is even more excited by the possibility of playing a semi-final at Bramall Lane - which is Sheffield United's stadium.Playing a Euros at home also has the added benefit for Ellie of being closer to her little Frenchie pup, Johnny.
"It's comforting to see him. Hopefully I'm going to be able to spend a little bit of time with him, take him for a coffee because he loves the coffee shops," she adds. "That's actually the hardest thing I would say - being away from home for this long is the lack of time you spend with the dog."Ellie says a tournament on home turf means less time away from Frenchie pup Johnny
Ellie has had a tough time with injuries recently and admits getting picked for the squad "was in doubt". "But obviously now I'm here, my perspective is so different and I'm super grateful and happy to be a part of this journey."She has represented Great Britain at the Olympics, and won the FA Cup and the WSL Golden Glove with Manchester City, where she is first-team keeper."That's the dream. Playing for your country is one thing, but to do that in a major tournament, and in your own country - it's incredible.
