I’m Sorry For What Happened, Lauren James Apologizes For Stomping On Michelle

Lionesses forward, Lauren James has given an apology to Super Falcons; Michelle Alozie over her stamp of the Nigerian in Monday’s round of i6 Women’s World Cup match in Australia.

Nigeria are ranked 40th in the world to England’s four but they hit the woodwork twice and were clearly the better side.

James was sent off in the 87th minute for a cynical stamp and she was initially shown a yellow card by the referee, however VAR recommended a review and the yellow card was upgraded to red after the act of petulance.

After receiving a red card, James is automatically suspended for England’s next match, however, her punishment will be reviewed by a Fifa disciplinary panel.

In response to a Twitter post by Alozie, James said: ‘All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened.

‘Also, for our England fans and my teammates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and I promise to learn from my experience.’
