'Mary Earps testing my patience!' - Lionesses goalkeeper responds to Christmas-themed jibe from England team-mate Chloe Kelly

<p>Earps and Kelly, along with Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze, have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-snow-day-lionesses-star-mary-earps-braves-cold-freezing-training-session-psg-players-wintery-conditions-france/bltfa79366f750bd105" target="_blank">getting in the festive spirit</a> during a gift-wrapping challenge. A comment made while trying to make a collection of footballs look presentable before they are placed under the tree left <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-chloe-kelly-chance-uswnt-risk-missing-lionesses-euros-squad/blt210b11b370c2a956" target="_blank">Manchester City winger Kelly</a> a little perplexed.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With Kelly struggling to find the end of the Sellotape, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Earps chipped in with: "Give it to me then, you’ve got bad nails." Kelly and Bronze were left open-mouthed by the quip – which was not intended to be a dig at Kelly’s carefully manicured fingers.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd59a84c84ee6e027/kelly%20earps%201.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd59a84c84ee6e027/kelly%20earps%201.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd59a84c84ee6e027/kelly%20earps%201.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Chloe Kelly Mary Earps nails" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltd59a84c84ee6e027;width:454;height:788"></picture>

WHAT EARPS SAID

<p>Earps has taken to Instagram in an effort to reinforce that point, saying: "Bad nails FOR WRAPPING!!! That was so clear in my mind." Kelly had said in a social media post of her own, alongside a video of the quip in question: "Bad nails! Lucy Bronze felt that pain for me. Mary Earps testing my patience!"</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb7f3c6d9a4f09a1a/kelly%20earps%202.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb7f3c6d9a4f09a1a/kelly%20earps%202.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb7f3c6d9a4f09a1a/kelly%20earps%202.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Mary Earps Chloe Kelly nails" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltb7f3c6d9a4f09a1a;width:405;height:805"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The playful spat was taken in good humour by all concerned, with there no divides to be found in the England camp. That is good news as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sarina-wiegman-verdict-england-handed-tough-group-euro-2025-lionesses-aim-defend-title/blt0389b808451c899a" target="_blank">Sarina Wiegman’s continental champions</a> are preparing for a defence of their Euros crown in 2025.</p>
