For the uninitiated: The scores and tableau positions are public knowledge.
I must have missed the bit which shows the tibia X-rays and other medical information. Are they on a click-through?

Just in case you missed it given that the article posted by Medea is in French it said “nobody knew” so the decision to play was entirely down to her.
That obviously means “no outsider”, possibly not even the other players. But the docs and management definitely knew, Wiegman couldn’t have confirmed the injury after the game otherwise.
Article in English where she says the same. No one knew.
How can Wiegman confirm the injury after the game if she knew nothing about it? There was far from enough time for x-rays and other medical stuff.
Lucy Bronze had known about the fracture for a couple of months.
I think it’s safe to assume that she had X-rays taken and medical exams during that time.
For whatever reason she chose not to share this information and carried on playing as normal.
Presumably she shared all these details with the team and Wiegman either during or after the final. There would have been no need to take X-rays, she just needed to share the results she already had with the manager for them to confirm the information.
Congrats for avoiding the point made.
Mum Diane Bronze: “We’ve known all the time. We knew the medics had checked it, and they knew what they were doing,” Diane Bronze told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.
Clearly the team’s medical team knew, and therefore coach and management as well.
But do feel free to claim otherwise, implying that the entire staff are incompetent morons who don’t have the slightest clue what they’re doing and don’t notice when their players have serious issues.
The only person calling out the competence of the team’s medics and specialists was you, which kicked off this whole pointless side discussion:
So at least we now agree that it wasn’t just done on a whim.
Basically you’ve come full circle and we can finally move on.

It’s becoming too much like the man’s game. Winning at any cost becomes the raison d’etre. Just like the Canadian team who got caught using drones to spy on opponents.
Isn’t that unavoidable, a consequence of pushing the limits? The same is happening with regards to violent or otherwise egregious fouls. See Hendrich’s red card in the quarter finals, or Lauren James stamping on Michelle Alozie. Goytre FC vs. Tonyrefail Welfare Ladies this january, a player had to be hospitalised, the attacker got jailed and criminally prosecuted.
Victory parade for the Lionesses for anyone who fancies a watch this afternoon…
Isn’t it supposed to heal in a couple of months?
Tibial fractures tend to be notoriously slow to heal especially if there is continuous stress on the leg which seemed to be the case here.
Turns out Lucy Bronze herself says that all England players were informed, as well as Wiegman.
But of course the resident expert knows better, she always does.
