(Reuters) - Former England captain Steph Houghton has said it has been tough to deal with her omission from the national team as she aims to reach this year's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Houghton, who captained England for eight years, was not called up by coach Sarina Wiegman for last year's Euros where the team lifted the trophy to claim the country's first major title.
"It's been difficult. It is frustrating from a personal view, and that won't stop me wanting the girls to do well, but I still want to keep knocking on the door," the Manchester City defender told BBC Radio. "If that moment doesn't come over the summer, then I think I just need to re-evaluate everything I've done over the last year, because it has been mentally tough."
