We have the legendary Chelsea manager, WSL icon and United States women’s national team head coach Emma Hayes on board as a columnist this month. Here is what she had to say in her column this week…

Sophie Ingle defied the odds to return from an ACL injury just in time to make the Wales squad for Euro 2025. The 33-year-old midfielder tore her cruciate ligament during a pre-season friendly against Feyenoord last September. She was subsequently sidelined for the entire 2024-25 season but did enough in training to impress Rhian Wilkinson and persuade the head coach to give her a place on the plane to Switzerland. Speaking to ITV Sport about her return, Ingle said: “I’m just loving being back with the team, being back on the grass, feeling like a footballer again after nine months, it’s just really special. To be back with the girls after such a long time and spend proper, quality time with them, I can’t wait. It’s the Euros and we’ve never been before.”
