Georgia Stanway: From Barrow to Bayern Munich

"It was a day that I wish time stood still."

That's how England footballer Georgia Stanway remembers winning the Euros in 2022.

Since then, the 26-year-old from Barrow, Cumbia, has added two more domestic titles to her medal collection, following her move to FC Bayern Munich.

But her position in this year's upcoming Euros is under threat following surgery to her knee in January.

BBC Cumbria sport presenter Sophie Mason headed to Germany to catch up with the midfielder, before she was out on injury.
