England player, Lauren James has apologized to Nigerian player Michelle Alozie after stamping the Super Falcons player in the 2023 Women's World Cup.

James, sister of Chelsea right-back Reece James, pushed Alozue to the ground before deliberately stamping her after the full-back dispossessed her.

The referee whistled for a foul and showed the Chelsea winger a yellow card but rescinded the decision and sent her off after a VAR review.

However, in a tweet on social media, Lauren James apologized to the Nigerian player for her actions.

The 21-year-old stated, "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."

Lauren James is in contention for the Player of the Tournament award after scoring 4 goals and providing 3 assists in four games but she will miss England's subsequent games due to suspension.
