The Senior England Women's football squad have pledged a collective donation to the Players Together fund, which supports NHS staff on the frontline.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the team announced they would be contributing to the fundraising scheme, which was set up by Liverpool's Jordan Henderson and a number of other Premier League stars last week.

It read: "The Senior England Women's football squad, otherwise known as the Lionesses, have been discussing the best way in which we could offer support to the NHS and its frontline staff over the past few weeks.

"The squad have recognised the importance of the statement last week from the Premier League players with regards to setting up the #PlayersTogether fund and the potential impact it can make to support and assist over 150 registered NHS charities."

The women have worked in conjunction with their male counterparts to make the most of the fund.

"After discussions with a number of Premier League players, we are delighted to confirm that the whole of the Lionesses squad will make a collective donation to the #PlayersTogether fund partnering with NHS Charities Together, in unison with the Premier League players in order to support the amazing NHS."

It has not been revealed how much is being donated by the squad.
