Lionesses receive star support
Chelsea star Mason Mount showed support as he joined Tottenham ace Harry Kane in urging the nation to roar on the Lionesses in their Euro 2022 opener.
Mount donned the shirt of Stamford Bridge striker Fran Kirby before Wednesday’s clash with Austria at a 74,000 sell-out Old Trafford.
The attacking midfielder paraded his backing on Instagram by posing like a fan in Kirby’s top.
Kane and one of his most famous predecessors Wayne Rooney also got behind Sarina Wiegman’s team.
And the England captain posted a video on his Twitter page in the hope of whipping up Euro 2020-style fervour for the Lionesses.
Kane said: “Just want to send a message out to England women’s team, obviously they’re getting their Euros campaign started.
“I just want to wish them all the best. It’s a home tournament as well so it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere and I’m just urging all the fans to go out there and support them. Make them feel at home.
“All the best from me and the team. We’ll be watching and cheering you guys on. Have an amazing time, and good luck!”
