Lauren Hemp confident Lionesses will bounce back from Spain hammering

• European champions beaten 4-0 in Mallorca on Friday

• Hemp: ‘As a group, we’ve come together and stuck together’

Lauren Hemp says the England squad are sticking together after their heavy defeat against Spain on Friday and they have vowed to bounce back from that hugely disappointing result, as they prepare to conclude their Women’s World Cup qualifying group with Tuesday’s visit of Ukraine to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The European champions were outplayed in a 4-0 loss in Mallorca that saw them miss the chance to secure automatic qualification for next summer’s tournament in Brazil, with Spain instead going top of the group. By virtue of their stronger head-to-head record against England, Spain have the group’s sole automatic qualification spot firmly in their hands.
