Chelsea FCW head coach Sonia Bompastor has provided the latest injury update on key players, Sam Kerr, Lauren James and Naomi Girma ahead of the next fixture.
Following an eventful UWCL outing against Barcelona, Chelsea FC seem to have their eyes set on English football once again as head coach Sonia Bompastor provided the latest injury updates on key players, Sam Kerr Lauren James and Naomi Girma.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has expressed confidence in Lauren James’ recovery from a hamstring injury, though she remains unable to provide a definitive timeline for her return. Speaking in a press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Women’s Super League match against Crystal Palace, Bompastor reassured fans that she isn’t worried about James’ condition, emphasizing that rehabilitation varies from player to player.
James sustained the injury during England’s April fixtures against Belgium, prompting her withdrawal from the squad. Chelsea later confirmed that she would be sidelined for an unspecified period, sparking concern among England supporters ahead of the upcoming European Championships.
Bompastor also provided updates on Chelsea’s squad, revealing that Nathalie Bjorn would be managed carefully while Naomi Girma is fit enough to start, though not necessarily for a full 90 minutes. Meanwhile, striker Sam Kerr remains in rehabilitation after suffering an ACL injury last year. Although Chelsea included her in their Champions League squad for the knockout stages, her return this season remains uncertain, with Bompastor hopeful but unable to guarantee her participation.
Chelsea has several key matches ahead, including four WSL games and an FA Cup final against Manchester United, but James’ availability for these fixtures remains unclear.
