Chelsea manager, Sonia Bompastor, has announced promising news about injuries ahead of the big team fight in the women’s super league (WSL) against the London rival Arsenal this weekend.
This is one of the most prominent matches in the women’s football calendar with two biggest England clubs that meet each other. This season, the changes are even greater because Arsenal try to reduce the backlog of seven points Chelsea at the top of the championship scale.

The 23-year-old suffered an injury to the leaves in October and has been pausing since then, but has recently returned to training and is available for selection.
“Lauren James returned to the team and could exercise normally this morning, so they are good news,” Bommpastor told the media at a press conference on Friday afternoon.

The manager insists that the players are extremely excited about playing another game in the SW6 and that the pressure that comes with is only positive.
“Having a chance to play in front of our fans will be a great help for us,” Bompastor continued. “More than 32,000 tickets have been sold and it will be a new record for us.
“Everyone is very excited and the players like to play at Stamford Bridge. It’s a positive pressure and it’s good to have pressure when you play these games.
“It’s a matter of finding the right balance of pressure, but it will be positive for players and everyone is very excited. When we play at Stamford Bridge, it is always a special game for players and brings them an extra motive and the atmosphere will be great.
“Everyone wants to be involved in that and in a positive way.”
