Leah Williamson's place in Women's Euros semi-final in doubt after injury
Captain Leah Williamson rolled her ankle during the match and was substituted as she was not at '100 per cent'.
Manager Sarina Wiegman said Williamson will be assessed before the semi-final against Italy on Tuesday, saying: 'I don't know what it is right now.'
While Lauren James and Lucy Bronze also appeared to be limping, Wiegman attributed James's issue to fatigue.
Lucy Bronze played through pain, removing strapping from her leg to score the decisive penalty in the shootout, earning high praise from Wiegman for her resilience.

Mikel Arteta offers cryptic update on Arsenal's pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres
Mikel Arteta has offered a cryptic update on Arsenal 's pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres as the club get into the swing of pre-season. The Gunners continue to be linked with a move for the Sporting Lisbon striker who scored 54 goals in all competitions last season. Arteta's side suffered last season from a lack of options in attack with injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz meaning midfielder Mikel Merino was pressed into service as emergency for part of the campaign. On the club's hopes of signing Sweden international Gyokeres, Arteta said: "I cannot comment on any player who is not part of our group yet. When we have something concrete to offer in any case to any player we will do that. "There's still a long time in the window and we are seeking still, in terms of numbers, we are short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the squad. "We are constantly looking in the market. Until that happens, focus on the players we have and focus on them and I'm very pleased with what I have seen in the last 10-15 days." Arsenal are in the Far East for three fixtures against AC Milan, Newcastle and Tottenham over the coming 10 days ahead of the new Premier League season which begins on August 15. They have made four summer signings so far as they look to end a run of three consecutive runners-up finishes and end a 22-year wait for the title with 26-year-old midfielder Martin Zubimendi the star buy so far at £55m.

Liverpool reach £79m agreement to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt
Liverpool have agreed a £69m deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign striker Hugo Ekitike. The fee could rise to £79m if add-ons are triggered and the French forward is set to become their fourth summer signing. Ekitike will travel to Merseyside for a medical and will sign a six-year deal, with personal terms not expected to be a problem. Liverpool hope the 23-year-old will be able to fly to Asia to link up with his new teammates on their pre-season tour. Sporting director Richard Hughes has remained behind in England to complete the deal, along with some of Liverpool's medical staff. Liverpool entered into advanced talks with Frankfurt last week after making an inquiry with Newcastle for Alexander Isak, who United do not want to sell. While Ekitike had an £86m release clause in his deal with Frankfurt, Liverpool were able to negotiate a lower fee. The £10m in add-ons are dependent on which trophies Liverpool win and the extent of Ekitike's contribution. Newcastle had also offered £70m for the former Paris Saint-Germain player but without the add-ons while Ekitike made it clear his preference was to go to Liverpool. He scored 22 goals last season, including 15 in the Bundesliga, and joins when there are doubts about the futures of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, who has been the subject of a bid from Bayern Munich. Ekitike's arrival will take Liverpool's summer spending towards the £250m mark – with the potential for it to rise due to add-ons – after the signings of full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez and the club-record £100m move for Florian Wirtz.
