The Maisie Symonds trip from a British fan watching the Euro 2022 winner from booths to its first international call is not very easy.

The 22-year-old Brighton midfielder-named after the 24-man Sarina Wigman team for the future League of Belgium-was in England’s largest moment in Wembley, a little shy since three years ago, until then was regular under 19.

When Simonds traveled to the final, he thought he was suffering from a cold. But after a report for the Brighton pre -season training camp, he was hospitalized with gland fever and hepatitis, a compound that led to a rupture.

It took a few months for the Symonds to be recovered enough to get back to training, but when he did, he ruptured an ankle ligament, another defeat that delayed his return until April 2023.

Simnds reminded: “I think it was literally my journey to Wembley, which was violent.” “I had a tuber fever at the time, but I didn’t know,” he said.

“That summer I started before the season, and then I got worse and worse and worse to get sick,” he said.

“At that moment, I probably wouldn’t expect to be in the national team for a few years, but I was very lucky for the people around me to help me get back from something, and I am really proud to be here.”

The offensive midfielder, signed by the former Lionesses coach, Omid Powell, arrived in the camp on Monday and joined Brighton Franco and Nikita Paris teams.

When England first encounters Belgium on Friday in Ashton Gate, and again on Tuesday, Wigman will be without Georgia Stanovi midfielder, Ruby Miss and Laura Blocild Brown. This has opened the door for Symonds, but the call seems to be surprising.

“The day before (call) we lost a game and I had a little bad spirit,” Simnds said. “I was going to review the game and had an unknown caller,” he said.

“Then Sarina just said,” Hi Missi, this is Sarina.
