England star Chloe Kelly took some time out ahead of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 by enjoying a summer getaway with Manchester United defender Gabby George.
Kelly — who helped Arsenal win the Women's Champions League final last month — was recently named in Sarina Wiegman 's squad of 23 for England's defence of their European crown.
With England not kicking off their campaign in Switzerland until July 5, Kelly grabbed the opportunity to take a much-needed holiday.
Documenting her trip — on which she was joined by George and their respective romantic partners — Kelly shared 10 photos to Instagram alongside the caption: 'UNO of Summer so far. Swipe to the end because things are hotting up pre Euros, the coolest fans in town are set @sharkninja #ad'.
The final photo Kelly was referring to showed her sat in the back of a taxi holding a fan — seemingly one from the brand she was promoting — close to her face.
Other snaps showed the 27-year-old sizzling in a pink bikini, cosying up to husband Scott Moore and posing with fellow footballer George.
George — who is the cousin of former United men's player Jesse Lingard — was not named in England's squad for this summer's Euros, despite having previously earn three senior caps.
Commenting on Kelly's Instagram post, George wrote: 'Love you'.
Kelly — who famously scored the winning goal against Germany in the final of Euro 2022 — replied: 'Love you girl. 4 amigos'.
England will go into Euro 2025 as second favourites, behind world champions Spain.
Wiegman's side dramatically came from behind to beat Spain 2-1 in the quarter-finals en route to winning Euro 2022.
But they lost to Spain in the final of the 2023 World Cup and were beaten by them again earlier this month in the Nations League.
Speaking after that recent 2-1 loss in Barcelona, Wiegman said: 'It was a very intense game, of course, we know they are very tight on the ball, but I thought we did well.
'After the first half, they had a little more of the ball, but we had the ball a lot too and I think we could have been a bit tighter, a bit more patient in the first half too.
'But we can see where we can harm them, I think a couple more times we could have not been offside or played a little quicker behind or switched the game or switched play quicker, we could have harmed them even more.
'I think in the second half, they started really quick and they did something different, they pressed even higher and we had some trouble getting out of the press and keeping the ball.
'And of course then they brought [Claudia] Pina in, and she was very secure with her shots.'
England's first game of Euro 2025 will be against France in Letzigrund. Their other opponents in Group D are Wales and the Netherlands.
