Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor has announced that Naomi Girma could debut in the Women's Super League against Brighton after recovering from injury. Girma, who signed from San Diego Wave for a world-record fee, did not participate in the SheBelieves Cup but has been training intensively at Chelsea. Bompastor expressed optimism about Girma’s readiness and training environment, while Girma herself expressed excitement about joining Chelsea, citing its culture and winning mentality as significant factors in her decision to move.
Naomi should be in the squad for the game on Sunday. We practiced really well during these two weeks. We brought some of the boys and we had the best players from the girls academy, and I think we had a nice environment for them to practice in.
There are a lot of things about Chelsea that made me want to come here - the culture, the winning mentality, staff and players. It's a top environment to learn and grow in.
I'm so happy and really excited to be here. It doesn't feel real.
Girma, a 44-cap international, is widely regarded as one of the world's best defenders and is expected to make a big impact at the WSL leaders.
