Arsenal star Lotte Wubben-Moy has taken the ‘tough decision’ to boycott the World Cup.

The Lionesses defender will be supporting the men’s team but won’t be watching.

The news follows Arsenal team-mate Beth Mead saying it was ‘disappointing’ the event is being held in Qatar.

The Arsenal defender, who was part of the Euros-winning squad, said the values the Lionesses hold are not reflected in Qatari society.

"It's tough, as an England team we all have strong values," explained Wubben-Moy.

"A lot of those values aren't reflected in the way that we see it, in Qatar. I think it's a tough conversation to have and there's a lot of dialogue around it.

"I personally will be supporting the men's team, but I won't be watching. I think it's, again, hard to talk about. But at the end of the day, we're one team here at England and we know that they have an opportunity to play at a World Cup. It's hard to look beyond that really."
