Naomi Girma joined Chelsea as women's football's first million dollar player but is currently sidelined with an injury, delaying her debut. Chelsea has fared well without her, winning eight consecutive games since mid-December. Head coach Sonia Bompastor mentioned that Girma is progressing and could return after the international break, although not in time for the upcoming match against Everton. Despite Girma's absence, Chelsea is in a strong position to contend for multiple titles, currently leading the WFL table ahead of Manchester United.
'Probably will be back after the international break. She's practicing with us this week, she's in a really good place, close to come back, but maybe not this weekend.'
Chelsea have continued to dominate despite Girma's absence, stretching their winning run to eight games in all competitions since drawing with Leicester City in the WSL in mid-December.
Naomi Girma is still waiting to make her Chelsea debut following her world record move from San Diego Wave thanks to an ongoing injury issue.
Chelsea remain in with a shout of doing the quadruple this season. They are seven points clear of Manchester United at the top of the WFL table.
