MARY EARPS savaged has sportswear giants Nike over their refusal to manufacture replica women's goalkeeping shirts.
The Lionesses' No.1 described the situation as "hugely disappointing and very hurtful" in a no-holds-barred rant against the global brand.
Earps is furious that, despite several personal approaches, Nike remain committed to their policy of not reproducing the keepers' jersey.
Back in 2018, the American company signed a mammoth 12-year deal, worth £400m, with the Football Association to be the country's official kit supplier.
Coming on the back of the row over bonus payments, this is a huge embarrassment to the FA with one of England's top women players laying into a principal commercial backer.
