RECORD BUY SET FOR FIRST CHELSEA APPEARANCE
-
NAOMI GIRMA could make her first appearance since her world-record move to Chelsea when the Women's Super League leaders go to Brighton today.
The international break has seen the 24-year-old USA defender, signed for a reported £900,000 from San Diego Wave during the winter transfer window, continue to work on her fitness after a calf issue.
And she is now set to be included in the Blues' matchday squad for the first time at the Broadfield Stadium.
Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor (right) said: “We practised really well during this two weeks.
“We brought some boys and we had the best players from the academy.
“We had a nice environment for them to practice in and Naomi should be in the squad for the game on Sunday.”
