Uefa Women’s Player of the Year: Can Lucy Bronze be first English winner?

Share

England’s Lucy Bronze will find out on Thursday whether she is the Uefa Women’s Player of the Year.

 

But she will need to prevail over two team-mates if she is to become the first English player to win the award, with fellow Lyon players Ada Hegerberg and Amandine Henry also on the shortlist.

 

The award, voted for by top coaches in the women’s game and journalists, can be won by any player representing a club in Uefa’s member associations.

 

Claiming the award would cap a superb 2018-19 season for Bronze, but can she come out on top – and what are the prospects of her rivals?
