Chelsea's manager Sonia Bompastor announced that midfielder Keira Walsh will return for the Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester City, while defender Naomi Girma remains unavailable due to injury. This match is part of an intense schedule, with four games against City in 12 days. Bompastor expressed optimism with Walsh's return, emphasizing the need for depth in the squad for upcoming games. Chelsea recently celebrated a Subway Cup victory but is focused on maintaining professionalism as they aim for multiple trophies this season, including the Champions League and Women's Super League.
"Always positive when you have players [Walsh] who come back in the squad, [it] gives me even more options going into the game, but also having more options in the bench..."
"There was zero celebrations... Everyone was tucked in bed by 9:30, we were all resting... I think we're all very professional and we've got our eyes set on big targets this year."
