And to those who have seen her develop at Kingsmeadow, James’ triumphant breakthrough onto the international scene has been even less of a shock. “She’s a top player and it’s great to see that other people get to see the Lauren James that I see on a daily basis,” says England and Chelsea teammate Jess Carter.

She’s just showing what she can do and growing and growing and hopefully she’ll be able to do it consistently throughout the tournament.” Senior players are actively making an effort to take James under their wing. Bronze, who was catapulted into the limelight with her long-range goal against Norway at the 2015 World Cup, added: “I can help keep her feet on the ground but she is good at that anyway. She’s someone like myself who gets misinterpreted a little bit by other players or the media because she hasn’t always got a smile on her face.
