Lewis, however, has told his players to have greater awareness of what they post on social media.

Several players posted pictures of their activities at the World Cup in the UAE, including boat trips between matches and other excursions, which was criticised after their group-stage exit.

“That will be a sharp learning curve for the players involved in that,” said Lewis.

“What I would say is I really trust our players. They train incredibly hard, but the female game in particular is getting a lot more scrutiny than it ever got before.

“Unfortunately for the players, that’s something they’re going to have to think about and understand the consequence of those things, of the misconception of what they are doing and how people can misconceive a social media post.

“That’s the reality of the world at the moment, when most people – not myself – live their lives on social media. Understanding the effect of that, and how that can be perceived, is really important for the players to understand.”
