"I tried to say the squad depth has been affected by key players missing in key positions - that's probably the main reason we are in this situation,"
"English is not my first language and maybe because of the language barrier, I didn't express that clearly."
"I have felt the support of the club since my first day and I do not feel under pressure. They support me - they support the players,"
Chelsea have slipped 12 points behind the WSL leaders after consecutive defeats to Arsenal and Manchester City, with eight games remaining. Injuries to key players have weakened squad depth and contributed to the downturn, including Mayra Ramírez's pre-season injury and Sam Kerr's limited role while returning from a long absence. Chelsea have underperformed their expected goals this season (24 scored from 29 expected) and produced only two shots on target across the Arsenal and City matches. Alyssa Thompson is the club's top scorer with five goals from 12 appearances. Manager Sonia Bompastor said language issues may have affected how her comments were interpreted and stated she feels the club's support.
