With the Women’s Super League season starting up again, the tournament has already sparked controversy regarding the new rules and regulations which have changed the game entirely.
Ex-lioness presenters Fara Willams, Alex Scott and Ellen White have spoken out about previous Women’s Super League (WSL) season being ridden with multiple ACL injuries. These can be detrimental for players, impacting leg mobilisation as they tear ligaments in the knee joints and shins.
Arsenal’s key players, Leah Williamson, Vivianne Midema, Beth Mead and Laura Wienroither have specifically been affected, as they were left out of the team, and the Women’s FIFA World Cup this summer.
Despite the loss of Leah Williamson and Beth Mead, England’s Lionesses managed to finish second in the competition losing to Spain in the final.
Additionally, in the build up to the Aston Villa match there had been controversy over the material of the Aston Villa football jersey’s having a sweaty wet look like texture. This caused uproar for the women’s team in particular who felt insecure about playing at the weekend. Aston Villa player Alisha Lehmann suffered a wardrobe malfunction in the shirt before the match even kicked off during the warmup.

The current WSL tournament holders Chelsea football club look like the team to beat at the moment with top form throughout the squad. England’s Millie Bright takes the captains armband this season and manager Emma Hayes could not have made a better choice by appointing her. Australia’s Sam Kerr who also plays alongside Millie Bright will definitely be hoping for some more silverware this season the super striker will be looking to get her hands on the golden boot this season. Although with Alessia Russo moving to London rivals Arsenal this season it could see a very tense battle for WSL champions yet again. It will definitely be a season of must see matches throughout the WSL this season.
