Alisha Lehmann will not feature for Switzerland at this summer’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, Aston Villa can confirm.

Our no.7 was chosen by Swiss head coach Nils Nielsen for the upcoming tournament, but has made the personal decision not to make herself available for selection.

Speaking after confirmation of the news on Monday, Lehmann said “It’s a personal decision. I don’t feel mentally ready for a European tournament.”

The 23-year-old has scored six goals in 33 appearances for her country and recently received the Supporters' Player of the Season at club level after an impressive debut campaign in claret & blue.
